Top 5 Things to Do in London with Teenagers

Teenagers are a unique bunch of people. What the adults and children may enjoy during their vacation in London may be unappealing to the teens. To make sure that these young people enjoy their stay there, you ought to recommend these places and activities to them:

The London Dungeon

Teenagers love to scare themselves. That’s why this self-proclaimed “the world’s most chillingly famous horror attraction” is a perfect place for them. Although the place is not very popular with the locals because of the expensive tickets (between £8.55 to £17.50, depending on your booking) and the long queue, it remains popular among visitors. The 1.5 hours will be filled with horror, laughter, excitement, and souvenirs for the teenage visitors. They will love the excellent actors, funny experiences, and the overall well-planned tour.

Jack the Ripper Tour

Aside from the fact that teenagers love to scare themselves, they also like to keep themselves scared. They will enjoy a walking tour in the evening hearing about the gruesome tales of Jack the Ripper in Victorian London. The entertaining tour guides will take them to the streets around the east where murders took place.  This two-hour chilling walk happens every night (except December 24 and 25) and at 3pm on Saturdays with the Tower Hill tube station as the starting point. No advanced booking is needed. Just tell your teens to show up and pay cash to the easily recognizable Guides who always carry their London Walks booklets with them. The average fee is £10.

Clothes Shopping

What kind of teenager doesn’t love to shop? They would love to buy some clothes in London that their friends back home don’t have. London is a haven for the clothes shoppers. Teens can choose from a wide variety of large department stores, vintage stores, street markets, and exclusive boutiques. They can go on shopping trips in Oxford Street, Covent Garden, Camden Market and Knightsbridge.

Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream

Everybody loves a nice, cold flavor of ice cream. Who doesn’t? The Chin-chin Laboratorists in Camden is Europe’s first nitro ice cream parlour. The place looks like a mad scientist’s laboratory but the hanging swings outside will give customers a fun and relaxed aura. It will give the teens a chance to try the freshly prepared liquid nitrogen ice cream. In addition to that, they can take photos of the amazing process of preparing the unique ice cream. The servers wearing white lab coats use glass measuring cylinders  for the ice cream mixture and unusual toppings. It is the coolest ice cream around.

Street Art Walking Tour

The walls around the east of London have the best street art on display. Teens can take a guided or unguided tour to be able to see all the great street arts in the place. They can also grab the chance to practice photography and capture cool photos of the “real London” to show off to their friends.

All these activities will help your teens enjoy London during their vacation. In addition to that, remember that teens are forever glued to Facebook. So, they always need access to the internet so they can upload their exciting London adventures for their friends and relatives to see.
