What to do with a 16yo girl on the weekend

[Asteroidneenee]

Hello

We have a 16 yo girl to entertain this weekend

What would you recommend that is not for. Tourist.

She has seen London s main attractions a million times. I was thinking something cool and local like garage sales/outdoor cinema...

If you have something in mind that is cheap or free that would actually be a good thing :) thank You

Guess she has done Camden Market?

walking along the river/south bank lots of street entertainers and buskers.

City zoo?

my girls like mooching about in Shoreditch, which is easy to get to (Overground) - fab shops, food, etc

[NewWave]

agree shorditch or camden market.

loads to do and see, or portobello road?

DeFrene fest at Sydenham Garden. Probably a bit too old for this but fun and cheap (and local)

Bit closer to home, you could take her to the Bussey Building or Peckham Levels. Always lots of fun things going on there including roof top cinema if there's still tickets available.

Something cool....like a garage sale?

I must very clearly be uncool:)

I guess Camden Market still has a bit of a reputation as being a bit "alternative", so I can see kids turning their nose up at it if it's not really their scene.

Broadway Market is pretty good on a Saturday. Brick Lane and Columbia Road markets on a Sunday.

Peckham Levels... even if she can't drink, there are lots of food kiosks to choose from, and it's a trendy sort of place.

Bussey Building rooftop cinema.

Get food somewhere trendy like Forza Win, Mr Bao, Taco Queen...

Park her up anywhere and give her a mobile phone or tablet it's all they want to do anyhow.

This looks fun, I'd be going if I didn't have to work!

What about swimming?I went with teens at Stratford, during school holidays they have extreme inflatable ! You need to prebook online the session. I went last week as well . Kids love it! I loved it as well!

After yoj can visit the huge wWestfield shopping centre ....grab some food and visit shops....

Jope it helps

Namco Funscape on the south bank is pretty cool, for a 16 year old this should be decent.

I used to know what to do with a 16 year old at weekends

Of course not

That's good then. What passed for a little joke in the 1970s. Perhaps the title of this thread could be amended?

[Sue]

Lighten up, I thought it was funny!

[cella]

Hmmmm...

[Elphinstone's Army]

This heading would benefit from rewording n'est-ce pas ?
