Teenage boys who delight in The London Dungeon will find a similarly ghoulish style of entertainment at the nearby London Bridge Experience, which includes haunted house-style explorations of the plague pits below ground (www.londonbridgeexperience.com). Feature continues
An instant hit when it first appeared in 2007, the Underage Festival is clearly exactly what junior music-lovers were lacking. Now an annual event, usually held in August in Victoria Park, the fest attracts the bands of the moment along with young up-an-comers snapping at their heels. This booze-free affair is strictly for 14- to-18 year-olds (www.underagefestivals.com).
There are heaps of free workshops and courses tailor-made for teenagers at galleries and theatres throughout London, from acting at the Old Vic or Half Moon Young People's Theatre, to getting involved in contemporary art at Tate Modern.
Kids Week in the West End (www.kidsweek.co.uk) is an annual promotion which means that one young person (aged between five and 16) can go free to any participating production when accompanied by an adult paying full price – and two more children can get in for half price. All the big shows take part, and many throw backstage workshops into the bargain.
There's free open-air theatre on offer at the Scoop amphitheatre, beside City Hall (www.morelondon.com). The Steam Industry theatre present a different, family-oriented production each year.

Hey!! this website is made by a teenager for teenagers who what to visit London, or for Londoners:

The website is awesome and it includes many ideas!!
well if you have never been to london before you should see the sights (but only for a bit cause it can be abit boring) you should travle down the river on a boat or if you look at boat stops you can speed boat down the river. i would defo go shopping and for clubbing they have "tiger tiger" but if u want a diffrent one i would just look around there are many in london. camden market is good and you can watch the streett performers. if you type in google actviteis to ddo in london there will be one and they have ice skating ( in winter) the theter (all year long) and during the summer asnd possibley spring ther hold events in london and the south bank. london is great and a place u will defo want to go again .

Hay, I'm 13 and have an 11 year old bro and 5 year old sister. Due to being babysat :/ I end up getting dragged around to farms... But when asked to come up with ideas I have none because I have practically zilch knowledge on stuff to do for peeps my age. I'm like an hour away from oxford and Bath, and can easily travel to London and stuff. If any of you lovely people could help me, it would be very much appreciated :3 thx! xxxx
my brother is soon to be 16!!!!
whaere could we take him to be suited to me 12 and him 16
As a teenager i would suggest taking a trip to covent garden-preferably at night- to see the performers and all the resturants. Also while you are in the area go to Scoop the italian icecream palour for the best icecream in london!! 40 Short's Gardens

Walk along Oxford Street and Carnaby Street for a huge variety of shops. Also Brick Lane has a lot of shops. If you like shopping them you MUST go to some of the markets like Camden lock or Spitafields for stalls filled with colour!
London has a large number of sites where it is decorated with graffiti. South bank is one such place. if you take a walk down Brick Llane and Old Street you can also see some of the unique art. Leake street is the best though. I hope you all enjoy your stay in this fabulous city! :)
Hello, I am 17 years old and have been to London multiple times... for teenaged girls, a trip to Harrod's to window shop gives you a taste of high society. For boys, viewing Abbey Road is always a pleaser... For all, the Imperial War Museum and the Churchill War Rooms really do offer something for all members of the family...
I'm 16 years old and I wanna go in a pub in London or Brighton. Do you have any suggestions?
i am 16 years old and have been to london 5 times now without the company of an adult and my 6th time will be in 4 days from now. These are my 2 favourite places to visit when in this amazing and iconic city. Camden Town, preferably by night. It has an amazing atmosphere which no other place in London can compare to. Whilst there, you should visit Cyberdog, a glow in the dark shop and Camden Lock, where you will find many asian food stalls offering many types of foriegn cuisine with some available to try as you walk past. Camden can be reached via the Northern Line Tube, London Overground or from Kentish Town Rail Station. Also when in London, you should visit Westsides Shopping Centre in White City. This is the largest of its kind in the UK and offers many hours of shopping to suit everyone. This includes everything from Primark to Nandos and even a Vue luxury cinema. This can be reached via the Hammersmith And City Line and Circle Line Tube to Wood Lane, via the Central Line to White City or via the London Overground and National Rail Services to Sheperds Bush.
My son will be 15 in May, and wants to do something comedy-based, stand-up or similar, but most if not all shows seem to be 18+. Any suggestions?

More suggestions: Do a tour of Shakespear's Globe Theatre and / or a tour backstage at The National Theatre. Alternatively book a tour of the Houses of Parliament. Visit the waxworks at Madame Tussaud's. Go to Covent Garden Piazza and see the street acts (also on the South Bank near the London Eye. Visit the London Acquarium. Go to Hampton Court and see the Maze - often staff are dressed in period costume, there are tours and they can tell you some interesting, grizzly facts - the kitchens are great - in those days only men worked in the kitchen, due to heat they were naked and they were not allowed to pee into the fires!! Some of London's cemetaries have amazing tomb stones and famous people buried there - try Kensal Green Cemetary (top of Ladbrook Grove). Try your hand at brass rubbing (I think you can do this in St Martin's in the Fields just off Trafalgar Square). Visit the Whispering Gallery in St Paul's Cathedral. Go bowling. Go to a swimming pool with watershoots. Chessington World of Adventures (just outside London) for a day out at a theme park. Or Thorpe Park which is geared towards teenagers.
A few suggestions: Camden Lock (market and canel) you could travel there from Little Venice on a canal boat. Also Portobello Road on a Friday and Saturday a great market, funky clothes, food stalls and antiques. Spitalfields Markets again fun clothes, items. To eat - Masala Zone - try an thali a big round platter with various curries also S&M which is Sausage & Mash. Go to Brick Lane for a street full of India Restaurants. Hire a rowing boat in Hyde Park. London Zoo. Have a drink at the top of Tower 42 (i.e. 42 stories high) great view of London. China Town and have a chinese meal. Kew Gardens and the tree walk and hot houses. Duck Tours of London an amphibious vehicle which takes you on the streets and then on the river. Get the Docklands Light railway to Canary Wharf and beyond and then walk through the tunnel under the Thames to Greenwich - another market - the Maritime Museum and get a boat back up the River. HMS Belfast - visit the ship. Walk along he South Bank. The London Eye. Google free London for Teenagers. Hamleys the biggest toy shop in the UK (the world?). Go to Harrods and vist the food halls and various other departments - you could spend a whole day there. All the museums: Natural History, Science, V&A, British Museum, London Transport etc etc
I agree there's very little information for teenages. Also, what about things that teenagers and parents would enjoy together. There's definitelyl much more info for parents of young children.
