Things to do in London - Ideally with teens or as a teen.

Hello to my fellow Londoners, Americans, Ghanaians, Nigerians, Chinese and everyone else who reads my blog! I've been meaning to do this post for ages, it's 101 points therefore the planning and research takes a lot of time. I'm doing this post in different sets so they're not all on one post. Schools out now! 6 GOOD WEEKS BABY! Anyway... lets get on with the post... These things are in no particular order, just random and my personal pics, so if you like my kinda stuff (art, fashion, music) these things may be for you!

1. Do a street art walking tour.

I've actually never done one of these before but that'll change this summer, usually I walk pass graffiti because i'm always in a rush but I really want to stop and see it sometime.You might see the wonderful works of Banksy and many others.You can find out where your nearest street art is or you can book a guided tour like i've done on: http://streetartlondon.co.uk/tours/

2. Hyde Park: http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/hyde-park

Hyde Park is one of the beautiful royal parks in London and if you do live here then definitely visit, even if it's just a stroll or your going on a picnic. It's open from 5.00 am till midnight.

3. London Dungeons - ENTER AT YOUR OWN PERIL.

This is one place to really go and test yourself... what are you really scared of? Screams and shouts may come out, but it's a once in a lifetime experience that is definitely worth the cost, risk of passing out, loosing your voice and the wait. 

4. The British Music Experience

Built into the o2, London is this musical exhibition that takes up 20,000 square feet of the o2. It was built in the o2 bubble in Greenwich. It explores British music since 1945 till now. Many events and exhibitions go on over there. So check them out! Their website is temporarily down - BOOHOO. Sometimes in these circumstances all you can do to find out is take a trip there...

                                   

5. Roundhouse  - Camden http://www.roundhouse.org.uk/

The roundhouse is based in Camden. I have actually walked passed here when going for my teen star audition but never been in. They inspire the next generation of musicians and run various workshops and activities to get you up and going with whatever musical talent you have. They also run shows and workshops on theatre, performing arts and many other stuff. There objective is 'space to create' for young people aged 11 - 25. 

6. Shop till you drop in Camden Market! http://www.camdenlock.net/camdenlock/main/main.html

Camden Market is definitely a place where you can pick up a bargain! Whatever you like, they have! Camden Market stores are open every day except Christmas Day. From clothing, jewellery and shoes to antiques, paintings and collectibles they have them all. There's something for everyone in the family.

7. The Great West End! 

The West End of London is known for their amazing Theater productions and these are a must see because they're an amazing experience. I've seen a couple myself and do recommend going to see one. You can buy tickets from almost any ticket distributor in London. 

8. Tate Modern

Tate Modern is a museum that focuses on modern and contemporary art in Bankside, London. It's a great museum that I haven't been to yet, as an artist this is great to go to because you learn more. There is also Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives.

9. Namco's 

Namco is a fun, exciting place that offer bowling services and other games, they have many venues - Braintree, Dagenham, Romford, London - County Hill.

10. Victoria and Albert Museum - http://www.vam.ac.uk/

The V&A museum is a great museum for art and design, has many exhibitions. They have an Alexander Mcqueen exhibition on soon that'll I'll definitely be visiting.
