The last Aussie 18 yr old we entertained was really into Sherlock, so we took her to a couple of those locations (then we got involved in a bit of argy-bargy on Old Crompton Street, which was probably more memorable for her). A couple of years earlier we took some other (much older) friends on the Waterloo - Westminster - Southbank - Tower bridge - St Pauls walk, which was much appreciated. I would have thought a tourist bus ride, a museum and a couple of pubs should do it.

Ask what he's into, then plan.
I'll lend him a Brompton if he's into bikes!

I had a mate over recently (notionally much older than 18 but are any of us really?) and the Big hit was setting us both up with lime bikes (you can buy a pass giving you 120 minutes and the ability to book for 30 mins so easy to keep your bike when you find one you like) and we basically did a bit of the cobble monster route in reverse (I'm SE), hit up and great view spots, ride to the river, find some interesting cycle paths etc and ended up in town for a gig. All interspersed with historic pubs or cool breweries etc. The acceleration on the lime bikes brings smiles and he def felt he got a mixture of history, sights and contemporary London vibes....

I've got an 18 year old Australian lad visiting me at the end of the month for a night/day (a distant relative, nothing dodgy). It's his first time in the UK, any suggestions for stuff to do with him? I don't know him well at all but I reckon a combo of touristy and "authentic" stuff is the best bet.
