I live in south east London and my 15 year old nephew is coming to stay with me the week after Easter. He loves films, drama and computer games - anyone know of anything cool he'd like to do?

Museaum of the moving image
There is a cinema in Leicester Square called the Prince Charles.
they do wcky film stuff.
Ie went to a Japanese film called hard boiled and you paid with a hard boiled egg.
They do a singalong Sound of Music film showing and used to do something similar for the Rocky horror Picture show throwing around rice and bringin in water pistols...
Much like a pantomine with actors running around
.
Look for a event called Whirlygig on www.accessallareas.org
It a hippy like nightclub event only you can take kids in in a parent and I think an uncle... check first.
London Dungeon (hes a boy, its got lots of Horror stuff... he'll love it)
Possibly Camden... Take him to the stables market and find the madest hig tech clothes dhop in London... Its called cyberdog...
you can get these implants looking like something the borg on startrek would where and t shirts that have electronic heart beats on them that light up.
Back of stables market to right of Gilgamesh building, thoguh the tunnel on the left.
(make sure he does not go near an dealers by the canal they mug kids trying to buy dope but if he stays clear he should be fine everyone else is a hippy type)
Also he can get UV glow in the dark under uv hairspray
Look for Quasar centre lasergun areans in London...There is one in Archway... like a computer game for real
Near the meseum of the moving image in water loo is the hugh Imax screen cinema with 3d

I would second the suggestion about Planet Hollywood, as it has original movie props on display. Easter Monday the Odeon Leicester Square - London's biggest cinema and the venue for the BAFTA awards - has a performance on the old organ, like cinemas did in the past. Tickets are about £6 and it's a chance to see inside a spectacular art deco cinema with leopard skin seats, though a 15 year old might not get into music from the 1930s. And the BFI now has a mediatheque on the South Bank where you can watch thousands of old clips for free. If he were in London a bit later (April 23rd), he could go to the Spiderman 3 premiere in Leicester Square and see all the stars arrive on the red carpet.

There is a cinema called "Prince Charles" at the back of Leicester Square, which does all the films that everyone else showed 6 months ago, and its about £3 a ticket.
Also Panton Street, Odeon Covent Garden, Curzon Soho, they all do unusual films like the foreign ones with subtitles. I don't know what he's into but there is a good range in London of mainstream and alternative films.
The 3D Imax one near Waterloo would be exciting for him.
Can't help you with computer games I'm afraid but theres a few suggestions anyway.

Definitely the London Film Institute on the river near the Bank Tube station... well worth a visit!
Hope that helps

Well if he's film mad rent dvd's, video games, take him to the cinema. You could take him bowling, ice skating, to the shops. Take him into London to Planet Hollywood, China Town etc. The list is endless..

Make a cool little movie or commercial of the people doing easter stuff and present it to the television stations.

Well, if his parents are going i think it would be ok. But if not i wouldn't let my daughter go. I mean my main concern is sex. They will be alone. My sister got pregnant in high school her senior year. Hey it happens. I think it's really about your daughter. Can you trust her. Do you think she'd try something like that. I wouldn't have but my other two sisters would have. So if you trust her then ok. But i don't think i could let me daugther go any where with a guy with out his parents going.

local events.. you could make your own film that he could star in and show it to the family when he is done.. or if you are shelling out the big bucks then take him to film premiers!!
