My kids are younger but their favourite thing to do in London is to ride on the tube train to one of the parks, have a picnic and kick a ball about then ride back on the bus. Simple, cheap but they love it!

The science museum is really good for all ages, and is free entry. There are a few additional costs for the simulators though, but it isn't too much.

If they are goo, then try the aquarium, The Tower of London ( very good ), or even a river cruise.

If they are naughty, then threaten to leave them at left luggage at Euston, lol. Seriously though, There are too many places to lis. enjoy yourself.

My little sisters favourite place is the Diana Memorial Playground & St. James Park (they love feeding the ducks), but they're just 8 & 6. They also adore The Little Angel Theatre.

Other ideas:

Hamley's Toy Store (best toy store ever!)

Trocadero: huge arcade, bowling, cinema, TONS of kids

Madame Tussaud's

V&A Toy Museum

National Army Museum

London Zoo

Regents Park

The London Eye

Hyde Park

Greenwich & the Old Royal Observatory

The Tower of London

The Science Museum

Harrods

Hampton Court Palace

Windsor

Hampstead Heath

There's tons of great West End plays that are suitable for kids, and there's also the Royal Opera House that puts on ballets.

I'm not sure if your kids are boys or girls, but when I was 13 (16 now), I loved shopping at Selfridges & getting my nails done there & trying on their wigs, & then roaming around Soho & High Street Kensington more than anything. The Troc is super popular with that age, too.

Have an awesome time.......
