A recent trip to London revealed my teenage son had very different ideas about how we should spend out time there

When my son asked me to bring him and his friend to Radiohead in London, I said we would only do it on one condition – that while we were in the city, we would see as much of the city and as many museums as we could within the time we spent there.
So even though he was going to be missing school, he could see this as an unofficial school trip where we would absorb as much culture as England’s great capital could offer us.
