Whatup! I'm a New Englander (sort of), been in London for 2 years, no plans to leave, so welcome to my adopted home.
It'd be easier to answer some of your questions on where to go if you could tell us what neighborhood you're staying in.
The biggest pearl of wisdom I can offer is: don't bother converting prices here into dollars. As a general rule of thumb, anything that costs 1 USD in Manhattan will cost 1 GBP in London. Even before the dollar fell so much, back in the good ol' days when GBP-USD was around 1.5, it was already sob-worthy.
So just resign yourself that you'll be going home a helluva lot poorer than you came, pretend all the prices are quoted in dollars, and have a good time :-)
I don't know Atlanta at all, but a lot of clubs and stuff in London are quite relaxed in terms of dress code. What kind of music do you like? There's quite a range to choose from here (unlike Manhattan, which seems to be purely hip-hop). Not sure if there are many places that don't charge a cover though...
P.S. Padded cycling shorts are called padded cycling shorts in Englishese. :-)
