Alright Met my new partner for this Strictly thing we're doing last night and she's MENTAL. Very enthusiastic. I give it two weeks tops before I'm reaching for the sedatives. Tell us your stories of dealing with hyperactive ADHD sufferers and those who proclaim "I'm mad, me".
Alt: Shameless beakering, apologies; what's romantic in that there London? Going down tomorrow for a couple of nights with the missus to celebrate our big One-Zero (binarylols) and am lacking in ideas for ways to pass the time in a suitably hearts & flowers way.
AltAlt: have we discussed breasts lately?

The river walk from Lon Bridge down the Southbank is nice. There is the Globe, Tate Modern and Southbank/Festival Hall to see. Drinks in the Oxo Tower.

Will they be for her, or for you though?Anyone describing themselves as 'well random' around me tends to either suffer a rebuke (if I know them), or I'll simply walk away from them, and forget they exist.

Alt: Easy,Green Park, Buck House, St James Park. Horse Guards Parade, Whitehall, Parliament Square, Westminster bridge. South bank to Waterloo bridge, over that and back to trafalgar square. Lunch in the Chandos, over the road to National portrait gallery. Have a look round. Up charing cross road.
A fair walk, lots to see and do.
Back to hotel for a shag.

London Eye.Women like that.
Wrap up warm and walk from St Pauls, across to the Tate Modern then down the riverside to The Eye (apart from the bit where there's still an annoying diversion because of the works at Blackfriars so you have to go down the manky back streets), try and time it with sunset, because it looks stunning round here at that time of day when it'ts not cloudy, and then it's only a short walk back into Soho for dinner.
Either that, or take her up the OXO Tower...

To echo what everyone is saying, a walk along the South Bank is very enjoyable.Would recommend a trip to Borough Market, even just to have a look round. The walk up from St James (pelicans) through Green Park (trees) and up to Hyde Park (more waterfowl) is nice and not too taxing.

Wait, you have two days?Another good walk is from Kings Cross along Regent's Canal into Little Venice, stop in Camden for a snack and take a detour to the top of Primrose Hill.
Edit: Actually, scratch the Camden bit unless you are going to be there really early, otherwise it will be teeming with cunts.
