Knightsbridge

Location

Knightsbridge London
United Kingdom

Knightsbridge is a district in London where expensive hotels, residences, shops, restaurants, and clubs create an exciting yet surprisingly quiet neighborhood.  Brit royalty, the jet-setting international community and private school teens mill about the beautiful architecture and it is where Harrods and Harvey Nichols, two of the world's great department stores, can be found.  There are also plenty of wonderful museums located in this district like the Victoria & Albert, the Museum of Natural History, or #1 London —the incredible residence that belonged to the Du

This former flower, fruit, and vegetable market is now a thriving tourist destination.  There are tons of shops and restaurants, which makes it an ideal destination.  The Royal Opera House is located in Covent Garden and there are plenty of street performers to make your walk around the area enjoyable!  It is also where a model scout discovered Naomi Campbell.  So take a bit of time to enjoy this energetic part of London.

London Black Cabs

London Black Cabs London
United States

I love these adorable black cabs.  They are the nicest way to travel around London.  You will usually find a really nice cab driver and they are especially nice to tourists.  The cars are very compact and seats fold down from where the wall separates the diver and the passenger.  This allows for a lot of people to fit in only one taxi!

Celebrate the genius of Shakespeare and travel back in time! Although this is not the real thing, it is the closest you will ever get.  Tours are available and it is really fun to stand on a stage and imagine where actors of the Elizabethan age would have recited their lines.  From the tour guides you learn all sorts of fun facts about the theater and the period.  There are always tons of teens visiting the Globe.  Besides a tour, you can see the Shakespeare plays that they put on at the Globe.  The Shakespeare themed gift shop is great!

This large museum features Britian's national collection of art that dates from 1900 to the present.  The musuem was opened in 2000 and gives the much needed large space to view modern art.  You may be a teen who is interested in modern art and if so you must make this a stop on your travels.  You will be intellectually stimulated by the array of art from installations of boxes and light to the well known artists of Andy Warhol and Edward Hopper.  The gift shop and cafe are good stops while you are there.

London - THE UNDERGROUND

London's Underground

Location

London Underground London
United Kingdom

The Underground (a subway to those who don't know) is the easiest and fastest way to travel while you are in London.  The fares are cheap and you will feel the hustle and bustle of big city London.  The Underground is deep under the ground and for those scared of heights I wouldn't recommend looking down while you are on the escalators taking you up.
