We're off to Bubble planet soon and i'm wondering what there is to do in or near this area or on the way to or from wembley on the tube, which a 13 year old girl would enjoy? Don't mind a little spend as it's a birthday trip. Thank you!

On the way to Wembley from where? 😂

Mine are a bit younger but loved the street food at BoxPark when we went to Bubble planet. There is a very expensive but lovely bakery on the way to the stadium too

I'd just spend a few hours browsing the shops, markets and food stalls at Wembley Park with lunch.

We did the Wembley stadium tour recently and it was great.

Gosh I wouldn’t go I took my 13 year old for her birthday and it was nothing like the pics it was awful filthy! The website and pics are misleading it was completely the wrong choice, it is for much much younger children I would say toddlers or under 5s at least I was embarrassed I took her there for her birthday. After we got some food as there isn’t much else near by

well, my 13 year old picked it out after extensively researching and discussing with her friends, so if she hates it, she can take the blame 🤣 and we can have fun elsewhere! It definitely wouldn't be my choice of outing, her decision entirely!We're coming from St Pancras to Wembley so if anyone knows of somewhere on that line we can stop off, either there or back, let me know.

The area at the back of St Pancras is nice to visit, it's called granary Square. You're also near Camden. What does she enjoy doing. There's plenty to do, how much time will you have.

Ok. So you are taking the met line. What do you want to do? Eat, shop, visit another attraction? How long have you got? Have you been to London before? What does your DD like?

Coal drop yard at Kings Cross has nice places to eat and a Christmas market on some days, if you are very tight on time, or Box Park in Wembley.

Platform 9 3/4 if she is a Harry Potter fan.

There isn’t anything amazing on that route for a 13 year old. Madame Tussaud’s is at Baker Street.

Oxford St is walking distance from Great Portland Street. She might like Twist museum, the food arcade at Centre Point and the Now building (giant screens/video installations).

Camden Market and Covent Garden are not too far from Kings Cross, if you have more time.
