London - something different

[Justwingingit2005]

Hey

U am taking my boys 13 and 15 to London on Friday.
They want to do something 'different'. Can anyone suggest anything?
Weve done the zoo and tower. The don't want to do the eye.
Thanks
😊

Or another vote for cable cars!

Climb the O2, I did it last summer and it was great, and reasonably priced.

Aquasplash at the olympic pool

The Hunterian Musem at the Royal College of Surgeons at Holborn https://hunterianmuseum.org/

Lots of medical specimens: educational and ghoulish!

This is really good fun and interesting too especially if they like history.

Ghost bus tour is great fun.
Climb the O2?

If they're into Lego, The Art of the Brick is amazing! We saw it in Sydney a few years ago and it's absolutely stunning.

There’s a surgeons museum I’m sure of it. You could do a walk from borough market to say Rotherhithe by riverside

It’s at times like this I wonder why The Chamber of Horrors at Madame Tussaud’s was closed.

How about abseiling on the Cutty sark?

Thames Rockets

Flight Club for darts
The Imperial War Museum has a Spies, Lies & Deception exhibition at the moment, it's very good if you're in to that kind of thing

Gods own junkyard.

I’m sure there’s a Marxist or communist bookshop (I’ve never been) in Islington.

Wellcome institute. Renoir cinema and Bloomsbury.

You can do a spies walk too, done that before.

Can heartily recommend the Yoko Ono Exhibition at the Tate Modern. I think a 13 and 15yr old could get into that.

The War of the Worlds immersive experience is really good.

Science Museum

The Clink and the London Dungeon.

Bloomsbury Bowl

HMS Belfast

Back to the Future musical

We are north London so it's 1/2hr in the car.

Queens ice rink, bowling, arcades

Watching ice hockey in Ally Pally or Lee Valley

Are you JUST there on the Friday, or the entire weekend?
If there on a Sunday, get out at Liverpool St, walk around the Spitalfields markets then through Bricklane market, get a salt beef beigal, then walk to Columbia rd flower markets. Finish at The Last Tuesday. The Viktor Wynd Museum Of Curiosities, Fine Art & Natural History (thelasttuesdaysociety.org)

If JUST there on Friday, walking tour of Shoreditch street art, East End gangster walking tour or take a picnic and wander around this forest cemetery https://fothcp.org/events/
