[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For our family it would not be too much. London is fantastic and you can find different things to do with it easily to fill up two weeks. Taking side trips to Bath etc. could easily take up a full week! I don't know how independent your DD is, but my 13-year old loved exploring London on his own with his phone and my credit card :) Hit the subway and go explore a different part of town; Chelsea and Kensington with little museums are good for a day each. Take a boat up to Greenwich and spend some time on the water. Look for unusual excursions. For example, you can do a tour of abandoned metro stations in central London, which my DS loved. You can go inside Big Ben (for that you do need to be lucky with the timing). You can see the caves, or the Victorian sewage station. Day trip to Bletchley Park is super interesting if you are into history and cryptography. If she's adventurous enough, you can set her up with a bike and let her loose. So much to explore!![/quote] This is one I would love to go on next time I am there if its available. https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/whats-on/hidden-london/clapham-south[/quote] They are really interesting! We did the Baker Street one last fall. Leighton House in Kensington for beautiful Oriental tiles. London Walks for shortish but super informative walking tours of landmarks. Climb all the way to St Paul. See the bombed-out churches made gardens. For the shopping lovers, hit Notting Hill! Nothing better than vintage jewellery shops there. I love London, I really do. I can happily spend a month there. [/quote]
