Tips please - teenage girl come to stay

[SteveT]

Getting back to reality without scaffolders,

I thought the first time I went to Harrods was amazing, so a visit to just look around and beg a Harrods bag for her to take home might be cool.

A trip on the river bus is probably a reasonable investment.

When I went for a trip on the Woolwich ferry I thought it was interesting.

['bout now]

Those open top bus thingys are actually *ahem* rather good. You buy a daily ticket and hop off and back on at your will. I took my teenager on one not long ago, the guide was funny and informative, it was well educayshonall.

Quite pricey though.

Just to say, when I went to Zandra Rhodes' fashion museum I was quite disappointed.

It was much much smaller than I was expecting, and they had on a very boring exhibition which took up virtually all the available space.

If you're thinking of going there, you might want to check out what's on first.

You will be waiting a very long time to get in there if the queue is anything like it was on Tuesday afternoon :))

And you can't get in via the exit, because there's a security guard :))

I got in to the maze just fine.

Its just I can't get out!

I've been in here for 3 days now. HELP!!!

Two years ago brought my then 12 year old and 15 year old nieces from rural Ireland to see "into the hoods" I was dreading it but it was fantastic and thouroughly enjoyed by all, we went to the dungeons which they loved but had to queue for too long so go early. 15 year old couldn't wait to go to Abercrombie & Fitch she loved it me and 12 year old hated it, she also loved top shop and urban outfitters Oxford St in general where I rarely stray can't stand it.

Spitalfields market is good on a Sunday - lots of stalls and plenty of places to eat

[Sue]

There's also several markets around this area on a Sunday, you could start off with Petticoat Lane early on, then move on to Spitalfields market.

Then there's Brick Lane market, quite different to Spitalfields, plus some record shops, vintage clothes shops, another covered market and loads of food stalls around Dray Walk and the area at the top of it.

Dray Walk is off Brick Lane.

And of course if she likes curry you're spoiled for choice (as a change from Lordship Lane :) )

Easyish to get to the area from ED, 35 from Camberwell Green goes to Liverpool Street station and it's all a short walk from there, alternatively a 40 to Aldgate.
