My daughter turns 18 during our family trip to London, so I asked her to pick the places she most wants to visit. These are her picks for our trip — where she wants to shop, what she wants to see and do, plus a few of her choices for food and drinks.

Her London Shopping Picks
The shops and shopping areas at the top of her London list.
This is a cozy LITTLE Moomin shop where we always find some rare treasures.

Because we all are big Disney fan. We want to check out their new Christmas ornaments.
Disney Store
The coolest shopping centre! A unique place. Here you can shop inside an old power station.
Battersea Power Station
This street has popular stores for teenagers. It is great for shopping and food.
Carnaby Street
Her absolute favorite store. Primark has affordable and nice items.
Primark on Tottenham Court Road
She wants to check out the christmas department in the store.
Selfridges on Oxford Street
A great, but crowded, shopping street, with a lot of her favorite stores.
Oxford Street
What She Wants to See & Do
The sights, places and experiences she doesn’t want to miss in London.
Because her favorite movie is “Notting Hill”, this area is a must-see.
Notting Hill
This is what she wants to do for her 18th birthday.
Mamma Mia! - the Musical
We will visit Mundo Puxar because we are Disney fans and this looks like a cool thing to do.
Mundo Pixar Experience
Because Notting Hill is the best movie. She has heard a lot about it and want to check it out.
Portobello Road Market
This is a beautiful park, if the weather is good. It also has a café.
Kensington Gardens
One of the most classic sights in London. Perfect for combining with sitting on the second floor of a bus.
Big Ben
Her Food & Drink Picks — Plus Our Stay
A few places she picked for food and drinks — plus the hotel we chose for our family trip.
We love Starbuck (and Disney)! Starbucks has the best coffee, in our opinion.
Starbucks Coffee
To buy delicious apple pie with warm custard, in the most unique café.
Café in the Crypt
This is a cozy pub. And turning 18 is a milestone in many ways. 😏
New Explorer
A great and big hotel - affordable, clean and central. Russell Square is conveniently located for a visit to London.
Royal National Hotel
If we're not staying at the Royal National, this is the hotel we stay at. Both President and Royal National are located in the same, fine area: Russell Square.
