[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Traveling to London with 2 older teen daughters in a few weeks and planning to do all the major sites (Tower of London, Globe, Westminster Palace and Abbey, Buckingham Palace).  Will be there there for a week so have some questions:

- For arrival day (when we are jet lagged) is there a specific walking tour or bus tour your teens have enjoyed?
- Any specific tour guide recommendations for the markets?  (Camden, Spitalfields, Portobello)  I know we could also just do these on our own, but sometimes a walking tour guide is nice
- A tea recommendation?  Was thinking of maybe the Orangery at Kensington or Swan at Globe?  Brigit's tea bus?  But definitely open to other suggestions
- Any shows really recommended right now?  We've been very lucky that we've seen quite a few already
- Day trip recommendation?  Windsor, Cotwolds, Hampton Court Palace
- Shopping recs? Love bookstores, thrifting, looking for dorm decor, typical teen clothes
- Museum Wise - V&A, Tate Modern?
- Restaurant recs?  Would love to find a trivia pub night teens could go do?  Have gotten requests for "conveyer belt sushi" and Indian?  Have a vegetarian n the group.  Italian / Pizza always popular but open to a variety of foods
- Staying near Tower Hill tube stop and have a 10 AM return flight out of Heathrow?  Best way and time to get get back to the airport?[/quote]

- We did the Tour for Muggles on arrival day - fun, easy-paced tour of Harry Potter movie sites that kept us moving and also helped orient us to the city
- Tea at Fortnum & Mason was a terrific experience!
- For Indian, our who family LOVED Dishoom - both for the food and the vibe. Ended up going twice with our teens, then again when my husband and I went back to London 6 months later.

Other suggestions: We all loved Borough Market (we did a tour with Totally Tailored that help us discover some delicious things we wouldn't have tried on our own) and a bike tour with Tally Ho[/quote]
