While I don’t mind the cold, it can definitely make traveling a little more challenging as you’ll want to be warm and inside as much of the time as possible. London isn’t home to the harshest weather in Europe, but the truth is because it’s damp, often windy and cloudy, it’s the perfect recipe for drab weather that makes you want to stay inside. Lucky for you, if you’re planning a trip to London, there’s ample things to do and see when the weather becomes less desirable.

Head to a Museum
Many of the museums in London are free, ensuring that there’s an interesting and cheap way to keep entertained when the weather is horrible outside. My favourite museum is the British Museum as it has a great range of different exhibitions, including a lot on London and the UK’s history. There’s a ton of options for museums that are free in London, so check out this list of free London museums to get some inspiration.
Head to Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland
If the weather’s going to be cold, you may as well make the most of it and the best way to do so in my opinion is by visiting Winter Wonderland. Here you’ll find a bunch of great rides, an ice rink (great place for a date), the new Ice Kingdom and also a decent traditional German Christmas market loaded with delicious treats and mulled wine. If your trip to London falls in the last week of November, any time in December, or the early part of January, make sure to pay a visit to this great attraction.
Visit a Pub for a Roast
There’s no way to warm up your body than visiting a pub, having a good Sunday roast and enjoying a pint. This is a very English thing to do and is a great way to break up a touristic day and to warm yourself up from the inside out.
Head to a West End Show
This is a great way to do something indoors while being thoroughly entertained. The truth is, the type of show you will see will depend on what’s available when you visit, but one thing is certain and that is that you’ll be enjoying a world class act. Look into what shows and performances are on well before you trip as they often sell out, so you’ll want to reserve tickets in advance.
