A Friday in London - what to do?

I’m coming with 18yo dd for a concert and we have the whole Friday to ourselves; we are coming home from Euston on the sleeper to Glasgow.

We are staying in Greenwich; will be travelling light but can also use lost luggage at Euston. What would you suggest for us?

What do you like doing? My DD likes shopping, so we often do Carnaby and Covent Garden, but there are galleries and so many other lovely things in London.

Take the uber boat down the thames to/from Greenwich, if you're at the O2 for the concert, you can take the boat a stop further and use the cable car.

What does your DD like? Take the boat to central from where you're staying, or to the new Battersea Power station redevelopment, yes it's just a big shopping centre but all over Tik Tok at the moment so I've been told (at length by my own teen). There's a good new exhibition on South Korea just opened at the V&A, my teen enjoyed it, and not too far from Battersea. Afterwards take Piccadilly line from South Ken or Knightsbridge to Kings Cross. Kimchee at Granary Square (Kings X) is a decentish Korean restaurant, and walkable to Euston to head home?

Otherwise bog standard touristy stuff if you're not in London much? Covent Garden the newish Seven Dials food market is quite good. You could even grab cheap matinee tickets for a show?

We did the sky garden recently, didn’t book but just queued it was a nice day.
