Im going to be in London for a few days, is there anything I must see? Im planning to hit the usual landmarks, but is there something off the beaten path?

The "usual landmarks" can easy take a couple of days, but I have always loved the Sir John Soame's Museum, its in central London, http://www.soane.org/

Science Museum is one of my favourite places in London. They have a wicked aircraft section with all sorts of planes and bits and pieces. Besides the aircraft the rest of the museum is very modern and very enjoyable. Best bit is it's free (though I'd leave a couple of quid donation if you were as impressed). I pop in there every time around that area of London. Also it's literally right next door to the Natural History Museum as well (both opposite Imperial College, which I suppose makes it roughly the Kensington area).
From both these you are just a short walk north to Hyde Park if you want to go some greenery. And if you are into art kind of stuff it's not too far from the Victoria & Albert museum, perhaps not my favourite place but I know people that enjoy it there. I know it may sound boring suggesting two museums, but I think they are well worth an afternoon or morning of your time as both National History and Science Museum are free and next door to each other. And Science Museum rocks |

I fly out the 8th, should be there for 3-4 days, then over to Germany. It just a vacation type trip.

Can I put a bid in for St Pauls Cathedral and its Whispering Gallery? Then, walk across the Millenium Bridge to Tate Modern, where the Turbine Hall is a sight to behold. Walk from there along to the Globe Theatre (rescued by your own Sam Wanamaker) and into Borough Market, where the food is a sight to behold. About three hours of your time, and a great mix of English Old, English New and something we owe you guys, courtesy of Sam. Enjoy!

Have fun Andy, there is loads to do but dont expect to find any english people in london, its full of eastern europeans now, i think the correct term is "cosmopolitan"
