Recently my 14 year old really enjoyed an afternoon at the Barbican. There were quite a lot of young people (perhaps students) hanging out in the open plan areas ground and first floor (some practicing for a play which she found very cool) and the amazing library well populated with all ages reading, studying, browsing the shelves etc.
White Water Rafting in Lee Valley (the artificial Olympic course) is fun for visitors. Tate Modern? Escape Room? Borrow a bicycle and cycle around the canals in Hackney? Movie at iMax? Some events might be on - e.g. at Ally Pally, or Southbank. Thorpe Park? War of the Worlds VR experience?
How about Southbank? take in the Globe, Tate Modern, Golden Hind, if you can get them to visit HMS Belfast it's great even if they don't think it's their thing. then past BFI and National Theatre, and the skateboard area, then lots of great places to eat along there.

My teen likes to do the Escape Rooms .


Southbank always good for walk down, buskers, Tate, Globe etc. You can also go up the Oxo tower if you are feeling rich, have a cocktail (or mocktail) and watch the sun set over the Thames.


Old Vic has Sylvia playing if you feel like some theatre, or go and see the movie Rye lane at Peckham Plex for a good overview of our neighbourhood.


Shoreditch / Brick Lane - easy to get to and lots of shopping and browsing options. I always love the flower market as well.


Take the boat as well on the Thames - its a lovely way to see London as well.


Greenwich a good option for something nearer - loads to do there

    • Thank you both. Inexperience Landlord trying to save  a few pennies - hence no agent involved. The issue is the fact that it is my understanding that without an EPC that is current then they should not have rented the property - far  more to the point and taken rent from me. They commissioned an EPC 4 weeks & I am still waiting for or a copy!!! No gas in property. Well I guess it will be a case of instructing solicitors which I have tried to avoid doing but as they are not responding at all, I have no choice. If I am correct about EPC then it will cost them alot more than refunding me my rent.            
    • Went there a couple of weeks ago and had their set lunch menu - very good value and generous portions. Sea bream was delicious .
    • Some years ago, one of our dogs ate something dropped by rubbish bins outside a local café and haemorrhaged. Rushed to emergency vet in Streatham, who suggested that someone, worried about rats getting into rubbish bins may have put down poison. Our dog died the next day. Consequently, any dog we had afterwards wore a muzzle to stop them picking up food.
    • They have been awful for years. I moved ages ago.
