London - any recs?

Looking into a Europe trip in early September. I've never been to the UK and London is by far the cheapest and easiest airport to fly directly into out of Atlanta.
I might potentially spend a couple of days there then hop on the Eurostar train to Germany. Any recs from the travel board baws? Into WW2 history and beer. I want to see some historic old world style pubs.

If WWII history is a top priority, go across the channel to Normandy. Base in Bayeux and take an Overlord Tours tour of the DDay beaches. That is an awesome experience.
In London, be sure to visit the Churchill War Rooms.

LINK you might be interested in this. You would probably have to take a train up to cambridge . Cambridge is a pretty cool place to visit on its own. The imperial war museum in London is good. It is walkable from big bend.

Don't sleep on WWI. If you go towards the Netherlands to hit up Arnhem, etc., you'll be passing through Belgium, and there is a lot of cool shite to explore (Bastogne, Verdun, Ypres, etc.) And for sure, hit up any American Cemetery you see (Meuse Argonne is sort of on the way to Bastogne from Paris.) You'll see the one at Normandy, obviously, but we have them all over Europe, including in the middle of nowhere like the Meuse Argonne, and they are beautiful.
Beer in France isn't great. It seemed to be all 1664 and Kroonenberg. Belgium for the Trappist variety!
ETA: Meuse Argonne (there's more to it than this obv)

Never knew this. I took the Eurostar from London to Paris definitely a nice system they have.

Rome2Rio is a good system to figure out train routes between countries. It lays bare the difference between the express trains that take 3 hours, and the local connecting trains that take 11 hours between the same cities without reserved seats.

Sign up for the Ceremony Of The Keys at the Tower of London as early as possible.

Idk if you like Harry Potter but Harry Potter and the cursed child show in London was amazing and I’m not even a potter fan. Hell I’m not even a broadway show type fan but that was super impressive to me. Check out borough market for street food. London has some of the best Indian food in the world imo. Sounds cheesy but I also enjoyed cruising around on the hop on /hop off bus tour. Cheap way to see a lot of the city and the main spots in a short time frame with some commentary to explain it all.
