DD has a gig at Brixton o2 and I thought of taking her there and then getting the tube to the Greenwich o2 and hopefully catching the shops before they close and then just walking around there for a bit but is there anything else I could/should do?!

Don’t really want to go and eat, was thinking more of something to do between 7pm-11pm ish when I go back to meet her.
Will have my other DDs with me, one is 16, one is 12.

Have you checked that there's nothing on at the Greenwich 02 Arena that night. It is a nightmare place to visit when there is. Long queues everywhere.

This!

The o2 on any event night is a hellish place to be. Unless you really live ridiculously busy places and lots of queues.

Don’t think there’s anything on. Went to Billie Eilish at o2 not long ago and looked round the shops beforehand and they weren’t very busy so not too worried about that.

I've not been yet but the Battersea Power station development opened last weekend. Lots of shops - might be quite an interesting place to go and not far from Brixton.

Placemarking for ideas

Thank you, didn’t think of Battersea and the shops are open later too!

Unless you want to stay south of the river to be relatively nearby, I’d jump back on the Victoria line to Oxford Circus and go to the shops. Lots of Carnaby St, Regent St and Oxford St is open late, Selfridges is great for an evening mooch. And you could stop for a quick thing to eat it you felt the need.

We did Battersea Power Station (very fancy) and then went to Selfridges until it closed at 10pm. Thanks for all your suggestions! The time flew by.

I live in Brixton. Either Oxford Circus (15 mins by tube) or Battersea MUCH quicker to get to than Greenwich for shops. Brixton has loads of places to eat if you want dinner.
