London for an afternoon - what to do!

8 replies

DanceToTheMusicInMyHead · 27/08/2025 13:25

In London for the afternoon tomorrow with DD11 and niece 21. Arriving about 1pm, and leaving early evening for hotel elsewhere. We don't know London well, but did tick off Tower of London, boat trip, London Eye and sightseeing bus earlier this year. I've looked at Buckingham Palace (DD super keen, niece isn't) and both would like to go to the big Lego shop. Any advice on something to do for a few hours that feels exciting and 'London-y'?

Take a boat along the Thames to Greenwich. Great museum, nice market, cafes etc.

or walk along the south bank to borough market?

Have a mooch along south bank

Go to the Lego store on Leicester Square and then you can mooch your way over to Covent Garden via Chinatown.

Oh I've never been to Greenwich - I'll look into that. Thanks!

The interactive titanic exhibition at Canada Water is really good.

Or you could get the Uber boat to Battersea Power Station, get lunch - there are a ton of places. and go up the Lift 109 for a great view of London.

stroll up Oxford street and go to selfridges to check out the JellyCat fish and chip shop thing - it’s fun to see!

The shopping centre at Battersea Power Station is fun for window shopping (has a LEGO store) and is next to the river. There are some fun places to eat and you can get a lift to the top of one of the towers.
