FAQ: How to find fun things to do with a teenager in London
Where can I find fun things to do with teens in London?
To find fun things to do with teenagers in London, use the Loopla search page. It lists events, activities and classes across the city. You can set the age filter to 13 and up to cut out everything aimed at younger kids.
You can also search for fun things to do with teens in specific parts of London. South Bank and Camden are the two areas we'd recommend. Both have markets to browse, lots of food stalls and street performers.
What free things can teens do in London?
Free things to do in London with teens include street art, markets and skyline views. You can watch artists work at Leake Street Arches, one of the few places in London where graffiti is legal. For views of the city from 500 feet up, there's Sky Garden. Tickets are free but you have to book in advance.
For young people interested in a career within the creative industries, North London's Roundhouse sometimes run free drop-in workshops or events.
Do teenagers pay adult prices in London?
Teenagers usually pay adult prices from the age of 16. At the London Eye, for example, child tickets cover ages 2 to 15 and adult tickets apply from 16. At the Tower of London, the child rate covers ages 5 to 15. Some venues set a separate rate for 16 and 17 year olds, so check the age bands before booking.
Do teenagers travel free in London?
Teenagers travel free on London buses and trams with a Zip Oyster photocard. The 11-15 Zip Oyster photocard provide free bus and tram travel, plus child-rate pay as you go fares on the Tube, DLR and Overground. It costs £15 to apply for. The 16+ Zip Oyster photocard provides free bus and tram travel to 16 and 17 year olds living in a London borough, and 50% off adult pay as you go fares. It costs £20.

Can teenagers go to activities in London on their own?
Teenagers can attend many London activities on their own from the age of 16. At the London Eye, anyone aged 15 or under must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over. Visitors aged 16 and 17 can enter unaccompanied, but cannot be responsible for anyone aged 15 or under. Cinemas follow BBFC rules, so under-12s need an adult for a 12A film and no one under 15 can watch a 15. Age policies vary, so check the venue before booking.
