Free things to do in London for teenagers

I’ve written a whole other article about free things to do in London with kids. Here’s an abbreviated version but do read the other post if you don’t find what you’re looking for here.

Grafitti tunnel, Leake Street

Leake Street, also known as the Graffiti Tunnel, is a vibrant, ever-changing street art hub located near London’s Waterloo Station. This underground passage, which runs beneath the Southbank and Waterloo, is a legal space for graffiti artists to showcase their work, resulting in a constantly evolving canvas of colourful murals and urban art.

The British Museum

I brought my son to the British Museum with the promise of Percy Jackson-related relics. Whilst this might have been slightly misleading, it did draw him in and we had a happy few hours looking at Ancient Greek artefacts and – more fascinating – mummified corpses in the Egyptian section.

Visit the Natural History Museum

As well as marvelling at the dino skeletons, teens can learn about everything from volcanos to gemstones in an engaging and interactive environment at the Natural History Museum. I always enjoy taking my kids around the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.

The Wellcome Collection

The Wellcome Collection, located on Euston Road, is a unique museum and library exploring the intersections of art, science, and health. Its thought-provoking exhibits include medical artefacts, contemporary art, and interactive installations that engage visitors in discussions about humanity, health, and culture.

Street acts in Covent Garden

There’s always someone doing a performance of some sort in Covent Garden, and they always pull in a big crowd. The last time we wandered through Covent Garden, we stopped to watch a man juggle chainsaws. Hopefully next time it will be something slightly less hair-raising.

The Bank of England Museum

My sons love the Italian Job and this inspired me to take them to the Bank of England Museum. The best bit about this museum? Apart from being free, it has a gold bar which you can pick up (or try to pick up). Gold bars really are very heavy.

Tate Britain and Tate Modern

Which is the best art gallery for teens in London? There are so many to choose from. I took my 13 year old to the Tate Britain the other day for the first time.

The Tate Britain isn’t too big and it’s easy to wander through and pick out a few artworks which interest you and the teens. My son has learnt about Henry Moore at school so we stopped to look at some of Moore’s sculptures. They were in the same room as Francis Bacon’s paintings – quite a contrast – and a good opportunity to talk about different artistic approaches.

As well as the Turner Prize, there are temporary exhibitions and thought-provoking contemporary art. Chris Ofili’s Requiem pays tribute to artist Khadija Saye who died in the Grenfell fire and another of his works reflects on the murder of Stephen Lawrence.

For an international art experience, there’s always something thought-provoking to explore at Tate Modern. The Turbine Hall has some great installations which change regularly.

Opportunities to see London from on high

London Eye

Try to time your trip on the London Eye to coincide with dusk – it’s great seeing London light up as you’re rising above the Thames and looking down on it all. Although this is a proper touristy thing to do, I’ve loved both my trips on the London Eye.

Sky Garden

The Sky Garden, located in the Walkie Talkie building, offers stunning 360-degree views of London’s skyline. With its indoor gardens, observation decks, and lively atmosphere, it’s a perfect spot for teens to explore. Admission is free, but you need to be organised about reserving your entry slot – advance booking is essential.

London Monument

The Monument to the Great Fire of London, commonly known as The Monument, is a striking 62-meter-high column located near London Bridge. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke, it commemorates the devastating Great Fire of 1666 and marks its starting point in a nearby bakery on Pudding Lane. Visitors can climb its 311 steps to a viewing platform, offering panoramic views of the city. Teens will enjoy the physical challenge and the sense of history, while the views make for great photos. The Monument’s fascinating details and central location make it a must-visit for families exploring London’s past.

Horizon 22 viewing platform

Horizon 22, London’s highest free viewing platform, offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the city from 254 meters up in the iconic 22 Bishopsgate skyscraper. Teens will love spotting landmarks like St. Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge, and The Shard. Modern and stylish, it’s an Instagram-worthy destination for unforgettable skyline photos.

The Shard

The Shard is an exciting destination for teens due to its stunning views, interactive experiences, and thrilling atmosphere. As the tallest building in the UK, it offers a panoramic 360-degree view of London from its observation deck, The futuristic design and sleek architecture also appeal to those interested in urban landmarks.

Lift 109

Lift 109 is further west than other London viewing decks – located in Battersea Power Station. Visitors take a glass-enclosed lift to the top of the power station’s chimney, offering. The lift is part of the station’s ongoing transformation into a mixed-use development, combining history with modern design.

The Dare Sky Walk

If you support Arsenal, this may not be a suitable attraction for your family… The Dare Sky Walk is located at Spurs football ground – on its roof. This is a good choice for teens who’ve been on the Eye or visited the Sky Garden as it shows London from a different perspective – further north. You also have the option of adding on The Edge which looks like a scary abseil, undertaken forwards or backwards.

Primrose Hill

If you prefer less vertiginous views of London, Primrose Hill is definitely a more relaxed option. You can enjoy a leisurely walk up the hill, have a picnic in the park, and take in the views. With its proximity to Camden Market, it’s a perfect mix of nature and urban exploration.

Historical highlights in London for teens

London Mithraeum

The London Mithraeum, located beneath Bloomberg’s headquarters in the City of London, offers a fascinating glimpse into Roman London. This immersive archaeological site is centred around the ruins of the Temple of Mithras, a 3rd-century sanctuary dedicated to the mysterious god Mithras. The experience combines ancient artefacts, interactive displays, and atmospheric lighting to recreate the temple’s original setting.

National Maritime Museum at Greenwich

The National Maritime Museum, in Greenwich, offers an engaging mix of history, adventure, and interactive exhibits, making it perfect for children of all ages. If you’re visiting London with teenagers and younger children, the Maritime Museum is a good bet.

The very relevant Polar Worlds exhibition is a good area for teens concerned about climate change while the Sea Things galleries is packed with over 600 artefacts from all over the world.

The museum’s hands-on displays and virtual experiences, like navigating a ship or uncovering stories of historical figures, make learning fun. Its focus on global stories and connections encourages teens to think critically about the world. Located near the Cutty Sark and Greenwich Park, it’s part of a day packed with exploration, history, and fantastic photo opportunities.

The Tower of London

Travelling past the crown jewels on a conveyor belt was a comical highlight for us when we visited the Tower of London earlier this year. I think we got a bit of armour overload on our visit – there’s a lot to take in.

The Cartoon Museum

If your kids (and you!) are after a more lighthearted history lesson, you can’t go too wrong leafing through a few back copies of the Beano at the Cartoon Museum. This is top of my list for my next visit to London with my teen.

Fun tours to do in London with teens

If your kids prefer to be on the move rather than cooped up indoors, exploring London on foot with a guided tour is a great option.

Take a street art tour in Shoreditch

Shoreditch is London’s hub for street art, with colourful murals that change regularly. Book a guided street art tour or explore on your own to discover works by artists like Banksy and Stik. It’s a fantastic way for teens to dive into the city’s creative scene.

Go kayaking on the Thames

For older teens, kayaking along the River Thames is an alternative way to see the capital. Several companies offer guided tours that pass by landmarks like the Tower Bridge or the Houses of Parliament. It’s a unique perspective that combines sightseeing with a workout.

Take a foodie tour

Foodie teens will love exploring London’s diverse culinary scene. Consider booking a food tour in areas like Soho or Borough Market to sample everything from gourmet donuts to international street food. It’s an excellent way to explore different neighbourhoods while indulging in tasty treats.

Take a ghost bus tour

Hop aboard a vintage double-decker bus for a spooky, comedic tour of London’s haunted history – the next stage up for kids who are too old for the Horrible Histories tour. The theatrical guides and eerie stories make this a thrilling and entertaining experience for adventurous teens.

Celebs in London

Madame Tussauds

Madame Tussauds London is a must-visit for teens who love celebrities, pop culture, and interactive experiences. Located near Baker Street, this world-famous waxwork museum allows visitors to get up close with lifelike figures of iconic celebrities, athletes, historical figures, and superheroes.

Teens can snap photos with their favourite stars, pose with Marvel superheroes, or even experience the thrilling Spirit of London ride, which takes them through the city’s history.

Catch a West End show

London’s theatre scene is world-renowned, and catching a West End show is a must. Many productions, such as Hamilton, Wicked, or The Lion King, are teen-friendly. Check out discount ticket booths or apps such as Today Tix to find affordable seats.

Thoughtful things in London for teenagers

Test Your Skills at an Escape Room

Escape rooms are a hit with teens, and London has plenty of options. Themes range from heists and haunted mansions to sci-fi adventures. It’s a fun way to work together as a family to solve puzzles and beat the clock.

Discover Hidden Gems at Daunt Books

For bookish teens, Daunt Books in Marylebone is a delight. The beautiful Edwardian bookshop specializes in travel books and has a cosy atmosphere perfect for quiet exploration.

Young V&A

I haven’t been back to the Young V&A since its makeover in 2023. The Young V&A in London is a vibrant museum dedicated to inspiring children and young people through art, design, and creativity. Featuring interactive galleries, hands-on exhibits, and workshops, it showcases everything from toys and games to fashion and technology. Perfect for teens, it encourages exploration, innovation, and imaginative storytelling.

Discover post-apocalyptic art at The Vaults

The Vaults, a subterranean art space near Waterloo, often hosts immersive art exhibitions and quirky theatre productions. Teens will love the edgy, underground vibe and unique artistic displays.

Solve mysteries on a treasure Hunt

London offers a variety of self-guided treasure hunts and scavenger games. Teens can explore areas like Covent Garden or Soho while solving puzzles, uncovering secrets, and competing for bragging rights.

Paradox Museum

The Paradox Museum in London offers an exciting and mind-bending experience for teens. Located in the heart of the city, it’s an interactive museum dedicated to optical illusions, brain teasers, and paradoxical exhibits that challenge your perception of reality.

Street art workshop in Shoreditch

Go beyond looking at street art and let teens create their own graffiti masterpieces. Several workshops in Shoreditch teach spray-painting techniques and provide a hands-on introduction to urban art.

London off the beaten track for teens

Explore abandoned railways on the Parkland Walk

This scenic nature trail follows an abandoned railway line from Finsbury Park to Highgate. It’s dotted with quirky art installations and is perfect for teenagers looking for a tranquil escape from the city’s bustle. You can walk or cycle the route.

If you’re after walks or bike rides just outside London, take a look at my articles about family walks in Hertfordshire or family bike rides in Herts – there are lots of disused railway lines just outside the capital which are safe options for cyclists.

Visit the Cinema Museum

Teens with a love for film will appreciate this hidden gem in Kennington. The Cinema Museum is filled with vintage film equipment, posters, and memorabilia that offer a glimpse into movie history.

Take a trip to Eel Pie Island

Accessible via a footbridge in Twickenham, this quirky island is home to artists’ studios, a boatyard, and an intriguing musical history. Open days let visitors explore this offbeat community and its creative vibe.

Big screens in London

BFI IMAX

The BFI IMAX is the UK’s largest cinema screen. Located close to Waterloo station, this is a great cinema for teenagers who love the big screen. Classic movies are screened here as well as the latest releases and films in 3D.

Science Museum IMAX

Another biggie, the IMAX at the Science Museum in Kensington shows some brilliant short films. We watched the excellent Beautiful Planet screening which takes viewers on a 3D trip to the International Space Station. There are awe-inspiring shots of planet earth and plenty of detail about life in space.

London Planetarium at Greenwich

Another good option for science fans, the London Planetarium offers a range of shows for young and old alike covering astronomy and the night sky.

Where to go shopping in London for teenagers

Leadenhall Market

Leadenhall Market is a vibrant, historic destination in the heart of London that’s great for teens who love exploring unique spaces. Known for its Victorian architecture, with intricate ironwork and glass roof, the market offers a mix of boutique shops, cafés, and eateries. Leadenhall Market is also famous for its appearance in the Harry Potter films, where it was used as Diagon Alley. With its blend of shopping, history, and movie magic, it’s a fun and photogenic spot for teenagers to explore.

Camden Market

Whether you want to part with cash or not, Camden Market is a great place for idle wandering. I’m usually drawn to the food stalls by the canal but teens might prefer to browse the shops.

Camden Market is great if you want a break from the usual High Street chains. There’s over 1,000 shops and stalls, selling everything from vintage clothing and quirky accessories to handmade jewellery and art.

Carnaby Street

Known for its independent shops and boutiques, traffic-free Carnaby Street, just off Regent Street, always looks lovely. I never actually pay much attention to which shops are there – I just like the atmosphere and the lights. It’s particularly pretty at Christmas time.

The Westfields – Shepherds Bush and Stratford, which is best?

My niece is a big fan of beauty brand Sephora which has a branch at both of the London Westfield shopping centres. But which Westfield is better, east or west? I’ve heard that teens prefer Stratford whereas grown ups find Shepherds Bush a less frenetic experience. Whichever, these two mega malls are sure to keep shopaholic teenagers happy.

Oxford Street

If you’re after the High Street chains and you’d rather be outdoors than in a giant shopping centre, good old Oxford Street has most of the usual names plus the big department stores. And if you come at Christmas time, the lights are lovely and the atmosphere feels pretty good.

St Christopher’s Place, opposite Bond Street tube station, is a fun little spot off the main drag to refuel in – plenty of bars and eateries to choose from if you want to escape the shops.

If you just want to window-shop and people-watch, my son and I inadvertently wandered along New Bond Street the other day. Lined with famous and pricy designer stores, it was packed with well-heeled shoppers and instagrammers, it was an interesting experience.

Hunt for Treasure at Bermondsey Antique Market

For teens who love vintage finds, Bermondsey’s vibrant antique market is a treasure trove. From retro jewellery to old records, it’s a fun way to spend a morning hunting for unique souvenirs.

Window shop for fast cars

Head to Berkeley Square if you have teens who like fast cars. Not only are there pricey motors being driven around this high end area of London, you can also browse the latest Ferraris and Bentleys on offer in the square.

The Lego Store

This might seem like more of a pre-teen store, but there’s something irresistible about checking out the Lego displays in this Leicester Square store. It’s certainly a more enjoyable experience than Hamley’s.

Forbidden Planet Store

The Forbidden Planet Store in London is a must-visit for teenagers who love comics, sci-fi, fantasy, and pop culture. This iconic shop offers a vast selection of graphic novels, action figures, collectibles, and merchandise from beloved franchises like Star Wars, Doctor Who, and Marvel.

Get active with teens in London

Learn circus skills at the National Centre for Circus Arts

Why just watch the circus when you can learn to be part of it? The National Centre for Circus Arts offers workshops where teens can try aerial acrobatics, juggling, and more.

Skateboarding at Southbank Skate Park

For teens into skateboarding, the iconic Southbank Skate Park offers an outdoor space right along the Thames, where skaters can showcase their tricks and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.

House of Vans

House of Vans in London is a unique, multi-purpose venue located under Waterloo Station. It’s a creative hub for teens and young adults, offering a combination of skateboarding, art, music, and street culture. The venue features an indoor skatepark with ramps and obstacles for all skill levels, making it a popular spot for skateboarders. Alongside skating, the House of Vans hosts a variety of events, including art exhibitions, live music gigs, and film screenings. The space also includes a cafe and shop where visitors can buy Vans products and limited-edition merchandise.

Spot deer in Richmond Park

Richmond Park is vast – it really doesn’t feel like you’re in London. It’s lovely in autumn when there’s lots of colour and it’s a good shout in summer if you want to escape the heat of the city.

After a winter walk, I can highly recommend the Sunday roasts at Lass O’Richmond Hill.

Visit the Seven Noses of Soho

Go on a scavenger hunt for the Seven Noses of Soho, a quirky art project by Rick Buckley. These sculpted noses are hidden around the area, and legend has it that finding all seven brings good luck.

Go climbing at the Castle Climbing Centre

Housed in a quirky, castle-like building, this indoor climbing centre is perfect for active teens. With walls for all skill levels, it’s a great way to burn off energy and try something adventurous.

Swim outdoors in London with teens

London has a good range of outdoor swimming spots. There are the giant lidos such as Tooting Bec or Brockwell. There are a few more intimate outdoor pools – I used to enjoy a pre-work swim at Oasis near Covent Garden.

Swimming lake at Beckenham Place Park
Swimming lake at Beckenham Place Park

Heading into the “wild”, in the north are the famous ponds of Hampstead while south east London has the relatively new Beckenham Place swimming lake – part of a large park with a great cafe, formal gardens, woodland and a cool BMX/skate park on the eastern side of the park.

Navigate the hidden canals of Little Venice

While everyone heads to the Thames, take your teens to the charming waterways of Little Venice. You can rent a paddleboat, take a canal boat ride, or simply stroll along the peaceful towpaths.

Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens is a must-visit for teenagers interested in nature, science, and beautiful landscapes. This UNESCO World Heritage site, located just outside central London, features over 50,000 plants across its vast 326-acre grounds.

Hive installation at Kew Gardens

You can explore stunning gardens, ancient trees, and exotic glasshouses. The Tree Top Walkway offers a thrilling high-up view of the gardens, while the Hive installation provides an interactive, sensory experience.

London for gamers and tech lovers

Power Up at the Science Museum

If you asked my sons to name fun things to do in London with teenagers, I think Power Up would be somewhere near the top of their favourite attractions.

It didn’t take long to decide that buying an annual pass to this homage to computer games was a good investment. Although being in a darkened basement for several hours isn’t usually my idea of a good time, we’ve been to Power Up three times so far this year.

The teens introduced me to Halo (highly addictive) and I tried to introduce them to Frogger and Chuckie Egg – Halo won. We all enjoyed the giant multi-player Pac-Man and the pizzas in the museum’s cafe were essential for luring the kids out of the basement.

Play games at Four Quarters Arcade Bar

This retro arcade bar (with locations in Hackney and Peckham) is filled with classic games like Pac-Man, Street Fighter, and pinball machines. It’s a nostalgic and fun hangout for teens who love gaming.

The Outernet at Tottenham Court Road

The Outernet at Tottenham Court Road is an immersive digital experience, blending art, entertainment, and technology. Teenagers will enjoy its cutting-edge 360-degree screens, interactive installations, and virtual reality experiences. It’s a dynamic space that combines modern art, music, and culture, offering a unique and futuristic entertainment hub in London.

Explore Camden’s Cyberdog Store

Cyberdog is more than a shop—it’s an experience. With futuristic fashion, glowing neon lights, and pumping techno music, it feels like stepping into a sci-fi rave. Even if you don’t buy anything, it’s worth a visit.

Try VR gaming at Otherworld

Step into a virtual reality gaming lounge at Otherworld. This futuristic venue offers immersive VR games that will transport teens to another dimension, complete with incredible graphics and high-tech pods.

Scary places to visit in London with teenagers

London Bridge experience and tombs

The London Bridge Experience and Tombs offers an immersive, spine-chilling journey through London’s dark history. This attraction combines historical storytelling with thrilling live actors and special effects. Teens can explore the ancient site’s haunted tombs, which were once part of medieval London’s bustling streets, and experience terrifying tales of London Bridge’s gruesome past, including the infamous executions and plagues. With interactive elements, dark corridors, and eerie encounters, it’s perfect for teens who enjoy spooky adventures.

Visit the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities

This weird and wonderful museum in Hackney is full of oddities, from shrunken heads to taxidermy. It’s a fascinating and slightly creepy spot for curious teens with a taste for the unusual.

High octane adventures for teens in London

The ArcelorMittal Orbit, in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, is the UK’s tallest sculpture and a thrilling attraction. Teens can admire panoramic city views from the top or experience the world’s longest tunnel slide, spiraling 178 metres around the structure.

Speed along the Thames

The Thames Rocket Speedboat offers an exhilarating, high-speed ride along the River Thames. Perfect for teens seeking adventure, this thrilling experience combines fast speeds with sightseeing, passing landmarks like the Tower of London and the London Eye. It’s an unforgettable, adrenaline-pumping way to see London from the water.

Experience the thrills of Thorpe Park

Thorpe Park was my local theme park when I was a teenager. Located just outside London, it’s a great day out from the capital. This theme park boasts roller coasters, water rides, and immersive attractions like The Walking Dead ride.

Go Ape at Battersea

If you prefer a more low-key adventure, a few hours in the tree-tops still offers adventures but at a slightly slower pace. You’re also on the doorstep of a big shopping centre in case you need to appeal to different interests among your family.

Instagram London

Explore God’s Own Junkyard

Located in Walthamstow, this neon wonderland is packed with colourful signs, quirky artwork, and vintage movie props. It’s an Instagrammer’s dream and a creative haven that teens will love exploring.

Double check the opening hours for God’s Own Junkyard as it is only open to the public on certain days.

Afternoon tea in London

Sorry, this isn’t a cheap option for parents of insta-teens but if it’s a special occasion, there are some brilliantly themed afternoon teas across the capital – everything from bus tours and Thames teas to wizarding and science-themed afternoon teas. Apparently there’s even a Taylor Swift-inspired afternoon tea in London.

Platform Nine and Three Quarters

Who can resist running at the wall with a trolley in Kings Cross? This is handily right next to where we get our train home from.

Colourful streets

Carnaby Street and nearby Neal’s Yard are a riot of colour – perfect for a few snaps. Alternatively you’ll find plenty of vibrant streets to explore in Notting Hill and Chelsea.

M&M’s World

Located in Leicester Square, this vibrant store with its colorful displays and quirky M&M merchandise is a fun spot for playful photos.

Sporty London

Football stadium tours or a match – women’s football at Wembley

If you’re into footie but can’t get tickets to see one of the Premiership teams, why not consider watching the women play instead? We went to see the Women’s FA Cup Final at Wembley a couple of years ago and while our team didn’t win, it was a great day out. And unlike at a men’s game, the fans of the two teams sat together and there was no foul language – how refreshing!

Football stadium
London football stadium

There are stadium tours at all the big clubs (including a stadium roof walk at Spurs), and plenty of fun internationals if you plan ahead.

Watch tennis at Wimbledon

Whether you manage to secure advance tickets, you queue early or you arrive in the evening, there’s something special about watching tennis at Wimbledon. This is a great day out for young tennis fans, particularly if you visit during the first week when you can catch some of the fairly big names on the outside courts.

Take in some cricket

I’m hoping to take my boys to see the Hundred – a shorter version of cricket that was introduced a few years ago. Matches last around two and a half hours, consisting of 100 balls. You can take in matches at the Oval in south London or at Lords in north London.

Rugby at Twickenham

Unfortunately my most recent experience of watching rugby involved England being narrowly beaten by Australia. However, it was a really exciting match (said by someone who doesn’t watch a great deal of rugby) and Twickenham had a great atmosphere.

Cycling at Lee Valley VeloPark

For cycling enthusiasts, Lee Valley VeloPark, offers the chance to watch live track cycling races or even try out the track themselves. We’ve used the mountain bike trail there and one of our boys is keen to return to try out the indoor track.

London Velodrome

Athletics at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

The London Stadium in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park hosts the annual London Athletics Meet – a great chance to see world class sportspeople compete in the famous stadium. Held in the summer, this is perfect if you’ve missed out on seeing the Olympics or you’re after athletics closer to home.

Formula E Racing

London hosts the Formula E Championship in a unique indoor and outdoor race around the Excel Centre. This is a great chance to see electric racing cars whizzing through London. There’s plenty of extra things to see and do including a fan’s area to explore plus live music and a dedicated kids’ section.

As you might expect, this is one of the more pricey things to do in London with teenagers!
