Look at the photos of great places for teens in London on page 85. Do you know what they are? Match the photos with the paragraphs.

You know that Olympic Park is FREE to visit, and it is also home to the London Aquatic Centre, the London Stadium, the Copper Box Arena, the Lee Valley VeloCentre and the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre. You’re able to hire equipment or pay to get involved in most of the activities at each of these venues, but you can’t leave without visiting the Orbit and Slide.

The ArcelorMittal Orbit is Europe’s highest sculpture, and you can’t miss it. It’s big and red and weird looking. But if you look closely you’ll also see a shiny metal tube going from top to bottom and that’s the World’s longest tunnel slide. It’s great fun, and we haven’t met a teenager who hasn’t loved it.

In fact, a day out to the park and slide is perfect because there’s a massive Westfield shopping centre just next door which is full of restaurants, cinemas and all the shops that teenagers like to spend their money in.

Situated in Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery is a great choice for adventurous and artistic teenagers. Plus, sometimes they just want to put on their headphones and disappear into their own little world, and this is a great place to do it.

You can easily spend anything between 45 minutes to three hours in here. The building is really well laid out, and the rooms are large and spacious, so the artworks are brilliantly displayed.

Make your way to the National Gallery for the Be Inspired tour to find out which paintings influenced the artists of today. Plus, the gallery provides free art materials, so you can practice your sketching skills. It’s free to enter and there are two very good venues here – a restaurant and a cheaper cafeteria.

It is also a stone’s throw from Covent Garden, so you can always hang out there if you get bored.

Most local parks in London have an area for skaters and they are pretty sociable places. Without doubt the House of Vans is now the most popular venue with its skate school; BMX support group, girls only nights; cinema; live music and exhibitions. Don’t forget the Lee Valley VeloPark over at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park which also has a great track and lessons for both newbies and experienced riders. The Hammersmith BMX Club is a modern track including London’s only BMX track wall ride.

Teenagers have always had a weird fascination with Sherlock Holmes. Since actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr, put on the famous deerstalker (hat), he’s become something of a teen crush. Teenage boys would like to be him, and teenage girls rather fancy being his Watson.

Well, London is obviously the place to follow in his fictional footsteps, and you should start with Baker Street. Your Holmes adventure actually begins in the tube station where various scenes from Conan Doyle’s book decorate the platform walls. You won’t miss the Talking statue of the great man himself. Yes, we did say talking! Just scan the QR code with your phone, and he’ll speak to you. Then head to 221b Baker Street, which is confusingly between 241 and 237, and you’ll find The Sherlock Holmes Museum complete with a Victorian style policeman outside who will happily pose for photographs.

The museum is quite small. Its rooms are set out to how they are described in the books.

Teenage and adult fans will love it and will probably spend a good deal of cash in the gift shop. After visiting the museum, drink a cup of real English tea in one of the many cafés along Baker Street or better still pop into The Beatles Shop next door.

If you’re a sporty teenager, you know that there’s only one thing better than playing or watching sport and that’s visiting an iconic venue. And as London boasts numerous grounds dedicated to football, rugby and cricket they’re spoiled for choice when it comes to a tour.

Football fans will probably want to start with the team they support, and you’ll be pleased to know that Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham and Crystal Palace all do tours. And not just tours – you can be guided round by a former club legend at some venues and even have a sleepover. Then of course there are tours of Twickenham – the Home of English Rugby; Lords – the spiritual home of Cricket and Wimbledon for tennis fans.

If you like using your brains more than your physical strength, than we highly recommend you try out Escape Entertainment London. Once there, you are locked into a room and given an hour to work as a team and solve the puzzles in the room that will allow you to break out. The rooms have been built by psychologists, puzzle solvers and organisational behaviourists¹ and then designed by movie and theatre set designers. The result is an exciting, challenging but highly enjoyable experience.

There are several Escape Rooms in London including Sherlock: The Official Live Game – based on the TV series – but this is our favourite.
