    What are your interests? Her interests?

    I was going to say "drugs" LOL. But really a teen for sure would like shopping Harrods. Covenant gardens, and the area close to the Savoy is a fun area for all ages.

    Google tours for teenagers in London. I’m sure there are many suggestions. High Tea in a lovely hotel or at Harrods? Then fun shopping?

    It depends on what she likes to do. Does she like history? I think that most young people would like the Beefeaters' tour of the Tower of London. Would she like to do one of the Harry Potter tours? Would she like to go to a cricket or soccer match? Portobello Road or Camden Town markets?

    I'd recommend getting her involved in researching places to see. You can start with googling "what to see in London" or watching videos on YouTube. The videos are how I get my husband interested in our tours. He isn't interested in reading guidebooks but likes the visuals.

    You didn't say when you are going but we unexpectedly really enjoyed going to a performance at the Old Globe. If your teen is not afraid of Shakespeare, and especially if there is a comedy playing, she might really enjoy that. I love the train stations. King's Cross has "Platform 9 3/4" from Harry Potter. Tea is a great idea. We went to Claridge's which was amazing. They had a tea called "Iron Goddess of Mercy". But we did spend 3 hours there. The London Eye Ferris wheel. Just riding the tube could be fun, with all the "mind the gap" signs. If you don't mind a train ride, she might like Hampton Court. Art lovers have plenty of choices but you could pick a few things to see from the British Museum. Possibly the V and A but some of their exhibits may need some parental discretion. So many things to choose from, not the least of which would be just walking around and admiring the architecture, like St. Pancras station and the Natural History Museum. She is lucky to have grandparents like you. Have fun!

    And of course, you need to go to a West End production. You can get 1/2 price tickets in Leicester Square for same day, or book in advance on line. Go to Time Out London (on line) to see what will be playing when you'll be visiting. Try to buy direct for a show rather than going through the secondary market. There are so many plays and musicals similar to Broadway. My favorite thing to do in London.

    If you go during a month that Buckingham palace is open to the public, that is great, but you will have to book well in advance.
