London with teenage girls

If you're at the V&A late in the day on Friday they have a late night opening with a DJ etc - it's open until 10pm on Fridays, most of the museum is still open to wander around until it closes, something a bit different. (the Dior is really good by the way!). Have they been on a Thames clipper and the Emirates cable car? Excellent way of looking at London while shop dodging!

I did it on a Friday evening and the queue was OK - I think the members room is open late too on Fridays though may get a bit crowded. Can you see the Mary Quant as well or is that too many clothes in a museum!? The cafes and restaurants on the way back to South Ken tube have a nice vibe in the evening as well. Forget I mentioned the cable car not for anyone with a fear of heights - the clipper is still good though, goes to Greenwich, plenty to do and the market rather than big name shops.

The Friday lates are great fun and perfect for teens but only run on the last Friday of the month. The museum is open til 10pm on Friday though. I've heard great things about the Quant exhibition, plus the jewellery gallery has just been reopened and has Queen Victoria's coronet on display. Have you walked the South Bank with them? My teen likes Brick Lane and the vintage shops, Camden Market and the car park in Peckham. Another idea could be to hire Boris Bikes and cycle around the Royal Parks. As long as you have the bikes for less than half an hour at a time its free (with a £2 daily charge per person). The app tells you where the docking stations are, and there's a book with some suggested bike tours.

So glad you enjoyed the Dior, it's beautiful isn't it, and such a huge collection. Great use of the space. I'm doing the Mary Quant and the re-opened jewellery department this week, can't wait!
