I suggest a two phase approach:
Phase 1):
Show them how hectic, awfull, abundant etc London is.
Walk them through Oxford Street and all museums around, get them pissed in some dodgy John Smith pub, go to an overcrowded restaurant in the centre where you have to queue, then travel by bus home, so they're completely knackered.
Phase 2):
The relaxing sides of London. Avoid buses or the tube. If the weather allows take them to Dulwich village, the thames path between rotherhite and tower bridge, greenwich park, some nice cafes. Take a boat. Hang out in a nice restaurant a bit off track (around mine it would be the old nuns head), read the newspaper and have sunday roast.
My prediction is that they'll crack during phase one and beg you for like phase two. So it's all good.
Plus everything that everyone else said.
