From lunchtime to showtime, If you’re looking to load up your weekend with things to do, here’s how to keep your teenagers entertained on a day out in Greenwich.

Late morning/Lunchtime


 

Effortless transport with teens is the ultimate key to an easy start to the day! Travel-by-river and advance-book tickets into Greenwich pier via the app from Uber Boat at Thames Clippers and arrive right in the centre of Greenwich to start your day out. You can see some of the major London landmarks on the way without even leaving your seat.

Once you arrive, the best days with teens always involve food and there are plenty of options on offer at Greenwich Market where you’ll be spoilt for choice by the varied lineup of food vendors from around the world.

Afternoon
 

With full stomachs and more energy it’s time for the best part of the day! Wander round the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, featured in blockbuster movies as well as countless TV series. Download the SetJetters app to plan your day around all the well-known locations around the area.

If your teens are feeling more active, hike up the hills of Greenwich Park and experience the heart of time at the Royal Observatory  

Head over to Greenwich Peninsula, home to The O2, one of London’s best places to see live acts from around the world. 

Not got tickets for the latest singing sensation or stage performer? Don’t worry. The O2 has options to keep everyone entertained. For a view over the Thames, take a gentle return trip on London Cable Car, or for something more active, complete the Up at The O2 Climb, which takes you over the top of the iconic roof of The O2. Book your climb for sunset and you could be enjoying 360-degree views of the London skyline bathed in golden sunlight. 

Back at ground level, hit spares and strikes at the family-favourite Hollywood Bowl, and try out your problem-solving skills in the live-action gaming challenges at Activate. With Clip n Climb, Oxygen Activeplay, and even indoor skydiving, the possibilities are endless. 

Nighttime
 

It's time for the grand finale. Greenwich is full of venues hosting a range of live theatre and music events throughout the year. Greenwich Theatre, Blackheath Halls and Woolwich Works all have an annual programme to suit every taste and age. Visit Greenwich’s What’s On pages to time your visit just right for excellent live performances. 

If your teen would rather see the latest blockbuster, ease into a reclining seat, hot dog in hand, for a movie on a super-sized screen at Cineworld in The O2.
