Borough Market is fun, but very crowded

Friends' kids studying in London all love a cheeky Nando's

I feel like the Tower of London is a must do for any first visit to London. It's been a tourist attraction for 300 years for a reason.

My 16yo got a kick out of feeling grownup enough to drink. Maybe go up high for a view (eg the Eye, Sky garden, etc). My kids really liked a Jack the Ripper walking tour. Walking tours can be a great way to learn a little history in an engaging and often entertaining way. There’s an Asian food chain called Wagamama’s. Both my teens love it.


Can just go to Clarendon for that.

Food- definitely check out some of the markets- Borough Market is probably the most famous, but it's definitely very bougie/touristy at this point.

This also looks good and has great reviews online at places like reddit.

I love Brixton as well- a nice range of options from all over the world.

Look at the Londonwalks website and see if anything interests you.

Why not ask your son what he would like to see/experience if you do not know? Give him either a deadline to make a list and then pick and book together, or pick a day and a few hours to discuss and book activites.


I had no idea! I’m pretty against supporting the KC right now, but what a neat idea.

As for England, he’s not one to research, but wants ideas. As it’s a birthday trip, I want him to be a bit spoiled as he’s normally not!

Hello!

I am taking my soon to be 18 yo on a trip to London to celebrate his big birthday. We are going in July so it will be hot.

We are going to the final Black Sabbath show for 1 full day(his choice!), but have 4 additional days.

Neither of us have ever been before. He’s not really a museum kid, but very into music and food.

Help me out! Is there anything that is a must see that I should be booking now? Any good deals that I should look out for?

Thank you.
