With winter fast-approaching, here are our top tips for spending rainy days in London.
London is teeming with magnificent museums and galleries, from historic buildings such as The Natural History Museum, to the contemporary collections of the Tate Modern. When it's raining outside why not retreat to the Norman Foster designed Great Courtyard of the British Museum, where its spectacular glass roof creates the largest covered public square in Europe, perfect for listening to the pitter-patter of rain outside.
There's no better excuse to cut yourself off from the outside world and enter the confines of a cosy pub than the British weather, and London's pubs and bars offer everything you need to thaw out, from log fires, to heartwarming grub and hot toddies.
London's West End is the largest theatre district in the world, with historic buildings, each with a story to tell, and a constant run of critically acclaimed plays and shows. Book yourself a matinee performance, spend an afternoon in a pub near to your chosen theatre and just shuffle over come evening.
Winter skin needs pampering, fact. With this in mind, use the rain as a reason to give yourself a day of indulging and try to inject some life back into your weather-worn body. It's what this time of year is for.
