The London transport museum is in Covent Garden, but unsure of the cost.
What is there to do in that there London

I would also steer clear of Covent Garden market - crowded and full of high-street chains.

The best patties in the area are at the camberwell end of coldharbour at the Spice and Nice bakery. queues tell the story. No seating but with a patty in each of your back pockets you get to warm your kidneys on the ride home. the veggie ones are great.

You can't find Jamaican food in Brixton? I hope I'm not falling into another troll trap, but.....
There used to be a place called Bamboula (opposite Brixton town hall) which I noticed on last visit had gone downhill a bit. There was another one just a couple of doors away which was better - can't remember the name. Another one just off the main road, across from the tube station. Was a couple of takeaway places near Electric Avenue too. According to Google there is a place called Negril as well, but never been there (only the REAL Negril in the pre touristy days when it was 7 miles of undeveloped golden sand and blue sea).

Will be giving that a try next visit. Good beef patties are hard to find. Used to have them pretty much on a daily basis when I went to school in Kingston. The school tuck shop sold them, and they were delicious!

All Stretham now. God, it's like me telling people to go for the 'Best Food eaten by Scottish Borders People in the years 1982-1988 when I used to visit the area to eat the real food that that the Scottish Borders peeps eat' innit[/quote]
WTF???
Try reading again. RedRider posted about Camberwell; I posted about Bamboula, across from Brixton town hall. I assume Brixton town hall is close enough to Brixton for your liking?
Off to the ignore list with you (again) CoG, I tried to play nice with you, but you really are a fud.

Speakers' Corner is free and good if you like an argument.
Could suit a few on here as well as the OP.

Can we just give a moment to the passing of Speedy Noodles IN Brixton. Used to go there every time I saw a gig. I wouldn't mind so much if they hadn't replaced it with effing Foxton's.
Grrrrr, Foxton's, I shake my vengeful fist at you (but not before I come in pretending to be buying a house so I can get a free diet coke)

I went on the engineers' tour of the pumping engines and mechanical guts of the bridge. You get to go down below water level to see the vast chambers where the bridge steel counter-weights swing.
Other stuff...a trip down the river to the Greenwich maritime museum. Great fun in the Summer.
Kew Bridge Steam Museum when the engines are "in steam". Seeing a giant Cornish mine beam engine in action is just wonderful, even if you are not a geek like me.
Lots more too.

It all sounds fairly crap.
