When you need a break from studying, check out all the fun and age friendly activities there are to do in the City of London.

London's nightlife extends beyond just Richmond Row. There are so many events that happen throughout the evening for those under 19. For students not quite old enough to enjoy the bar scene, there are plenty of other options that will satisfy your late-night whims.

Palasad

Bookending the north and sound end of the city, Palasad is an energetic date plan. Get a little competitive with friends or your date at this neon playground. Play a game of Ping-Pong, laser tag, shoot pool, karaoke, or “retro” bowling with a beer and a burger. They also have wood ovens, if you're into a smoky crusted pizza. Pick your poison and run with it. Get ready for $2 + tax bowling on Mondays with shoe rentals. Fore more information, visit palasad.com.

London Music Hall

Home to some of London's best bands and other well-know acts across the world, London Music Hall frequently host all-ages events: allowing children and grannies to all gather together to celebrate the bustling music scene. Tear up the dance floor with your dance moves at these lively shows. Texas King, The Arkells, and Skrillex have all played at this venue. Hang out by the couches and have a chill evening listening to music, or get crazy on the dance floor. For more information, visit londonmusichall.com.

Prince Albert's Diner

Open until 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, this is the perfect little space to indulge in late-night milkshakes and burgers. Frequented by bar kings and queens, this diner is perfect to catch snippets of drunken conversations if you're looking for a cheap laugh.
