What would you do with 4 hours in central London this Saturday afternoon?

Me and DP have an unexpected 4 or so hours in central London on Saturday. We are visiting for the night and had planned to meet friends in the day and then my cousin at night for dinner however our friends have just cancelled. Already booked our train tickets (arrive kings cross at 2.45pm) and still plan to meet my cousin for dinner in Farringdon at 8pm which gives us an unexpected 4ish hours to fill!

Struggling to decide on what we should do with the afternoon. Forecasts are saying rain (although whether it's all day or not is anybody's guess!) but I think we need to plan for it being wet regardless, I would have liked to visit garden at 120 if the weather was better but alas.

DP suggesting heading to Camden for some food which I'm happy to do but will it be crazy busy on a Saturday afternoon? I've only ever been on a weekday. We will need a bit of lunch but nothing too big as we are eating out later on.

Basically I'm open to any and all suggestions, we've done all the 'big stuff' and quite a few smaller museums but there's always plenty to do I just can't think of much right now!

I'd read my way through Waterstones Piccadilly... In fact, lock me in over night...😂

Walk along the south bank, lots of restaurants and cafes along the way (if weather holds up)
