Walk from Paddington down Edgware Road, through Hyde Park, past Buckingham Palace and through St James Park to Parliament Sqaure. From there, cross Westminster Bridge and stroll eastwards along the Thames to Tower Bridge. It will take 2-3 hours but give you a fab introduction. If you fancy this, post back and I'll pull together some eating/drinking options along the way.

also --is there anything particularly "christmasy" I should see? I have been in London a few times but never close to the Holidays.
Thanks

After the flight
I'm going to second the recommendations for the Big Bus tour or a river tour. You want to keep moving but you're probably going to be pretty worn out to start so just take it easy. You might want to consider one of the London Walks if you want to move a bit faster.
It's January so dress warm.
Have a great trip!

I hope you enjoy Cornwall, it's a lovely part of the world. Indeed, one of the few parts of the UK outside London worth visiting.
