Hi,

I'm going to London with a few mates and our hotel is situated in Greenwich. We're staying for a few nights but we need to think of more things to do. We're going just before the Olympics start.

Suggest anything, unusual things too. We're under 18 btw.

Edit: Are there any sports we can play or watch? We'll be there for the few days before the opening ceremony of the olympics.

Edit2: Should I get an Oyster card? We're staying for 3 days and 3 nights.

This. There's the Science Museum, Natural History Museum and the V&A Museum all within a 30 second walk of each other. Can be quite fun to bounce from one to another.

Dude, if you want something awesome to do and free go to the Imperial War Museum.

Don't let the fact it's a museum put you off, it has real tanks, planes, missiles and all sorts of crazy stuff that were actually used in the war and everything and it's literally a place I could spend a few days going round. There's a trench recreation you can walk through and even a Holocaust section which is crazy as everybody is asked to be quiet as they view it and it is really touching.

It's certainly worth looking into, google it .

Places to possibly visit: Camden, Chinatown, Globe theatre, Trafalgar Square (maybe visit the National Gallery while you are there), Hyde Park (picnic or hire a peddle boat in the Serpentine), Oxford Street (if you fancy a spot of shopping), London Dungeon and there are lots of museums around London catering to different interests. There are also the usual spots for sightseeing and tourists.

Sports, any sport really but mainly basketball, football and tennis.
Music I suppose, we wouldn't mind going to any shows etc, into any type of music.

All lovely places, I would also suggest British Museum and watching a play in Piccadilly.
