London with Teens

36 replies

I have the opportunity to take my two older kids for the day. They've done the London eye, science and history museums, and a little bit of sight seeing when they were little.
We are going to do the tower bridge experience as they've both said they'd like to do it.
Can anyone recommend some cool things you'd think they'd like if you've been there with your teens? I think they'd both like something history related too- they have been to the Tower of London too.

DD loves Camden Market. Lots to see, interesting people, good food options.

My 14 year olds favourite is the London Dungeons, we have been twice.
Next time we are going to either the Sky Garden or up the Shard.
He also likes travelling on the tube and we walked through St James's Park - saw the Pelicans- and looked at Buckingham Palace. He would have liked to go in but I hadn't booked it.
River Cruise?

Yes to Kings Cross. It's really buzzy around there in the evenings. Maybe book Dishoom for dinner, if they're still letting you make reservations.

In the City, Postman's Park is worth a quick check out too.

Agree Camden is a good call. Also a boat down to Greenwich to see the Cutty Sark and the museums and shops there.

Surprise success with ours at 13 and 15 was the Globe.
Went ( as a treat for me really) but they both loved it and remember it well .

@grafittiartist that's the age of my two.

@supercritter my DD would like it there.

So many places to go - I'm really looking forward to it🙂

We are booked to do the Tower Bridge experience and to see the Van Gogh exhibit so far (their choices) not sure we'll fit much more in what with a bit of sight seeing and mooching about the other places they've said they want to see (covent garden etc) so will save the ideas for another visit. 🙂
