Go with Rimbaud's suggestion. Try and see if you can go on a sunny day if you fancy sitting for a drink outside or looking at the books.

Quite. Everyone loves fish and chips. Except Gramsci. Just avoid kebab houses, fried chicken places or places that sell fries as opposed to proper chips. They should arrive wrapped in paper and not in a polystyrene box.
I recommend the Imperial War Museum. It's pretty awesome.
Brick Lane is a shit-hole in my opinion, but they do have some good Indian restaurants.
My favourite restaurant/gastro-pub is The Atlas on Seagrave Road. It's near the West Brompton tube stop. The food is good and they sell Staropramen on draught which is nice.
I'd maybe go to Shoreditch some night just to see some of the sort of people who hang out there as it can be interesting.
If you have a spare few hours, I'd take a walk through Hyde park as it's quite nice.
