Where can teenagers go out around Cobham/Esher?

[inspi1]

Hi, we have just moved to this area and not quite familiar with what's there to do for teenagers when they go out. Our son is nearly 15 and has arranged a small group of friends (boys and girls, not local) to go out together this Saturday afternoon, but not quite sure what to do other than go to the movies and have lunch in Esher, which wouldn't be fun enough on its own for this age group. Any suggestions as to where local young people go/what they do when they go out in groups? Appreciate any advice!

Guildford and Kingston centres both have cinemas and bowling. Kingston has www.shakeaway.com/ shakeaway which is popular with teens. Games workshop for warhammer fans. Spectrum in Guildford is a massive leisure centre with ice skating and leisure pool with slides, wave machine etc. And the lido in summer.

Thank you for the info, twitchy, much appreciated!

going to the flicks and eating (plus hanging around shopping centres) is just about all any 15 year old can do really! What other type of things did you have in mind? My Teens wouldn't be seen dead at a swimming pool but bowling and skating are popular (if a little spendy) but mostly its about food! You are lucky that there are good transport links from your area to Kingston which probably has more on offer than Guildford, so they can be a bit more independent

and where the friends aren't local, meeting at at central point (Kingston, Guildford, Wimbledon, London) is most convenient
