London with preteens tomorrow - help!!!

[Amandasummers]

I suffered from a severe case of mum/school holiday guilt today and told the kids (9, 10 and 12) I’d leave their toddler brother with nanny and take them to London tomorrow!

I love a good stroll about London but now im worrying that’s going to be pretty boring!!! I haven’t got the money for big attractions and their all old out anyway so it really is going to be a day of making our own fun but im stumped.

My first thought was changing of the guard but after reading up im now so overloaded with information I don’t know which bit to go to or at what time!!

I’ve got Camden on the list for a visit to Hans gretal

And I’ve got Covent Garden/Leicester Square type places on the list but im really getting myself in a tizz about it now and need a plan.

I know this topic has been done to death and I’ve searched through but it’s normally requests from those with younger kids!

Any ideas or can anyone formulate some form of plan for me before I lose my mind 😩

@CrimeJunkie01 so glad I checked the thread this morning….I totally didn’t spot the family ticket and nearly paid more for individual 🤣 that’s a great saving!!!

@CrimeJunkie01 also I meant 1pm 🤣🤣🤣

Another guilty mum here too, it will only be me and my 9 year old dd. She wants to see Buckingham palace after that who knows ?!

Definitely do Tower Bridge if you're doing Tower of London. The glass walkway is pretty awesome for all ages! Then alongside those two you can head to Borough Market for food, Tate Modern for painting on the floor and walk along the Southbank. If you can make it that far, the graffiti tunnel in Leake Street Arches has live artists at work and is cool for all ages. Or head North over the Millennium Bridge from Tate Modern to look for the chewing gum artworks on the bridge and spot the pair of giant eyes in trees just outside St Paul's. www.instagram.com/p/CSyVBmFI9Xu/?utm_medium=copy_link

The National Portrait Gallery is closed until 2023 for refurbishment.

[quote Amandasummers]@CrimeJunkie01 I’m looking at 2pm as well, also 1 adult and 3 children but I’m getting priced at £75 😩[/quote]
I thi k it's cheaper if you buy the day before.... Are you looking at the family ticket? Its cheaper than buy them separately

@Amandasummers definitely say hello if you see me!! For reference I'm wearing a pinky/orange top and black jeans
