https://trhal.app/en/itinerary-london-7d.html

Extends the 5-day plan with two intentionally lighter days for free time and relaxation before departure, with a documented, intentional return to a few earlier stops for a different purpose (a relaxed walk, last-minute shopping) instead of padding the plan with new, unverified stops.

An intentional return for a quiet farewell lunch at the same cafe, rather than exploring somewhere new on a departure day. Note: Windsor Castle (outside London, in Berkshire) is a famous day trip that could be considered as an alternative for this free day if time allows, but it is not administratively part of London and isn't linked to any London borough.
