Anything happening in London today that my 14yo slightly geeky dd would like? Not Hyde park

[TheoriginalLEM]

Just that really ? Hyde park too busy and expensive.

Wander around south bank? Usually lots going on

Might just do that, dd wants science museum I want v&a but we ALWAYS go there

British Museum is excellent because you can do different things and it’s huge , not sure if it’s open on Sunday but the British Library has a very good permanent exhibition and usually at least one other . The Horniman is good again not sure if it’s open on a Sunday .

I would recommend the Docklands Museum at Canary Wharf . Excellent exhibition about the development of the docks over the centuries and good Second World War stuff .or the Cutty Sark ?

Ah- have just realised Hyde Park is Winter Wonderland (I was confused as to why it was busy and expensive!!). We had a lovely wander in the Kings Cross area recently with our two, by the redeveloped around the canal with nice indoor market etc.

Does anyone know if the museums do trails that will hold a teens interest? We used to love these pre teen years

Stranger Things secret immersive cinema? If they've watched the show that is.

I think there's a Red Arrows thing at the science museum at the mo?

thewonderfactory.co.uk/ This pop up in Dalston looks pretty good and £1

@ForMySorrow where's that? We love stranger things

at the price of the stranger things one!

Always used to enjoy going here.
It's free!
Nice cafe too

Another vote for the Wellcome Collection. Not usually too busy and a great variety of interesting exhibitions

The Wellcome Collection, more or less opposite Euston Station? They have a fascinating permanent exhibition of medical curiosities and a fantastic library/reading room where you can lounge about on floor cushions, plus a nice cafe and bookshop. There's a current exhibition called 'Play Well', about games and toys in history.

It's also free to enter

It's not very far away from the Foundling Museum in Brunswick Square, which is open today too.

X-post with Smuggy and Grandma . Great minds

British library also almost opposite the Wellcome collection

The Design museum on High St Kensington has the Moving to Mars exhibition. My geeky friend said it was brilliant.

Most of the Design Museum is free (not the Moving to Mars exhibition though). It's a fabulous building. Used to be the Commonwealth Institue.

The top floor is great - a good history lesson for the youngsters and us more mature visitors can just wander round exclaiming "ooh, we had one of those".

Hope you've had a fun ay whatever you decided to do

Yep. The Design museum.

Bodyworks Piccadilly Circus

Tower of London. If he’s a history geek. The beefeaters do an amazing tour and talk.

Where is the secret cinema, I’m thinking of booking but will need to travel and can’t find the location, I know it’s supposed to be secret but would need to know to see if its tricky to get to.
