Where to find old buildings: taverns, castles, cathedrals, etc to visit while in London

The National Heritage List map would be a good place to start. From their requirements description:

The general principles are that all buildings built before 1700 which survive in anything like their original condition are likely to be listed, as are most buildings built between 1700 and 1850. Particularly careful selection is required for buildings from the period after 1945. Buildings less than 30 years old are not normally considered to be of special architectural or historic interest because they have yet to stand the test of time.

In central London, you are reasonably likely to be close to any number of listed buildings in most of the standard tourist areas. Finding a particularly dense cluster of listed sites on the map might satisfy your requirements.
