I'm planning a trip to Paris and London with my 15 year old niece in March! Everything is falling together nicely because of boards like these. However, I've come across a stumbling block! We will be in London on Sunday evening before coming home on Mon. morning and there doesn't seem to be much to do with the exception of eating out. We are having afternoon tea, so that really isn't much of an option! Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
London Walks offers a few evening walks on Sunday.
Wow, that is fast service! It is March 21st that we will be there, and we don't want to plan to the minute, but just want to know what might be available!
The London Walks sounds like fun!
How about the London Eye? It gives a wonderfully different view after dark.
The great thing about the London Walks is that you just show up--no reservations neeeded. However, if you are thinking about taking one of the Pub Walks, you might check ahead of time to see if it's okay for a 15 year old.
As you get closer to March, London Walks will have their schedule posted for that day.
Not entirely true, nowadays, that there is no theatre on Sundays in London. The link below has 5 plays that are showing the evening you are there.

We are in London right now and it's Sunday evening. (Actually, we are in the Yotel at Terminal 4 at Heathrow). We fly out tomorrow after 3 weeks in England. We checked our luggage early this moring and took the bus to Regent Street and toured Kensington Palace. Tons of people on the streets although Saturday was more crowded. Many places on the major shopping streets were open. There is always the Big Bus tour (which we didn't take) or the London Eye (which we did do). The London Eye was great.
I would plan on going to see the matinee (3pm) of The Lion King...I have seen it in London several times and it's fantastic. Then you could have High Tea some where (which includes a meal).
Before the theater you could walk around Covent Gardens which is always fun.
My 17-yr-old daughter and I were in London recently over a Sunday night and had a wonderful time at La Cage Aux Folles - the cast has changed and I'm not sure how the new actors are doing, but we loved it. If there's no theater you want to see, we highly recommend the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower. You need to order your [free] tickets at least 2 months ahead of time but that shouldn't be a problem for your March trip. The Wardens do a great job of giving you a bit of history while also locking up the Tower as they have done every night for the past 700 years or so. Another option would be evensong at St. Paul's or Westminster Abbey.
And by the way, we did the Chelsea pub walk and there was no problem with her being underage; she just ordered soda instead of beer. Have a wonderful trip!
