Hi
You should visit Oxbow Books in Oxford- five minutes from the station. The best classical bookshop I know, often with special offers. The Ashmolean is undergoing a lot of re-development by the way. The Pitt Rivers museum (non Roman, anthropological/ tribal cultures) is well worth a visit.
In addition to the British Museum, the Museum of London is a must, as are the nearby remains of the Roman Wall and temple of Mithras in the City of London. Theres also some small remains of the amphitheatre in nearby Guildhall Museum.
Dover has some good remains- especially the painted room http://www.aboutbritain.com/doverromanpaintedhse.htm and the lighthouse.
And in addition to Stonehenge, I'd recommend a visit to Avebury, which I personally prefer to the more famous stone circle.
Cheers
