Teenage Clubs in London?
Our family is traveling to London in July/August for two weeks. My daughter has been on the internet looking up clubs in London where she can see some punk bands... I should note here that she is a terrific girl, and not out looking for trouble - just <BR>really would like a true London teenage experience, not just tourist gloss. And she would like to take her (rather mature) 14 year-old brother with her. We are concerned however, about giving them this much freedom of experience in a city we have never visited, so am curious as to whether anyone has knowledge of the teenage scene in London, and its relative safety. Thank you for any info!

Polly <BR>Just as a reference, there is a guidebook out called "Hanging Out in Europe" that is geared towards teens and young adults. According to the reviews <BR>on Amazon, the book leaves a lot to be desired for accuracy in maps, precise locations, etc, but it does cover all major cities (including London) and when I glanced in it it had youth-oriented comments about the atomosphere in various bars, clubs, restaurants, etc. <BR>Another such book is "Let's Go London" which is updated every year, is accurate, and is also youth-oriented. <BR>I don't know how old your daughter is, but you indicate she has a good head on her shoulders. I would just be concerned about what neighborhoods the clubs are in. If it's a decent neighborhood, and she has cab fare to get back to the hotel in the wee hours, London is as safe as most places.

I suggest you get her a copy of Time Out or visit http://www.timeout.com. Punk went out here in about 1978 but I guess there must be somewhere still playing it...
