Best sights for teenagers in London?
We are travelling with 2 teens, ages 13 and 15. On our last trip to Europe, they burned out on museums, tours, and churches. Anything specific you think teens (one boy, one girl) would enjoy in London? We have only 3 days there.

We're taking our 14 and 15 year olds back to London this summer, and they're looking forward to seeing the Imperial War Museum.
I think the Cabinet War Rooms would be interesting as well -- they are still set up exactly the way they were during WWII.
We all also enjoy going to a musical or play.

What about the War Rooms & Churchill Museum? We found the Imperial War Museum to be a bit geared toward the youngsters, and I mean under 12 set. A bit disappointing.
Why not have your kids pick an area that they might be interested in and do a "walk?" We have those deck of cards walking tours...and it's fun to choose one at random at breakfast and take off. If it's a bust, you've only lost an hour or so of your day.
Good luck. Teens are difficult to satisfy (altho, usually, in later years, they admit that they had wonderful times on the old family tours!).

My teen's liked seeing the costumes at the V&A museum, esp. the corsets and underwear that people wore. They also liked seing Diana's dress' which I think were at Kensington Palace. This is girl stuff, but you don't say if you have sons or daughters. Mine also liked Hampton Court and taking a carrage ride around the park, and seeing the kitchens under the palace.
