The Change of Guard at Buckingham Palace is every other day. If you can, go and take a look at 11 am. The entire ceremony lasts about three hours, much of it behind the fence. A quick look of the guards marching in and out, followed by the horse guards is sufficient.
After this, take a stroll down the park toward Westminster. Food can be purchased from a supermarket near the pier. Once done, get to the pier and on a riverboat cruise, seeing the sights of the Thames River. Get off at Greenwich (1 hour). Greenwich is a quiet small town, and the pace of life is noticeably slower. The Royal Observatory is a bit of a walk (30 min each way), but when you get there, you can see the Greenwich Meridian, and set your wristwatch by the displayed clocks. The museum is worth a visit as well. Don't bother taking the cruise back; you can use the Docklands Light Rail to get back to Tower Hill.
If you are inclined, you can have a comparatively cheap dinner at Chinatown (Leicester Square underground), followed by a show at the West End theaters. Be sure to purchase your ticket either online, or from the numerous half-price ticket booths around Leicester and Trafalgar squares earlier in the day. Make sure you receive your actual admission ticket.
