More Things to Do on a Rainy Day in London, UK

compliments of Robert S. Wayne from www.europeincontext.com

London has many options for a rainy day, since they have many such rainy days. Even better, many of the museums are free. The National Gallery and the British Museum are two of the best, and most popular but I also enjoy the smaller and quirky Sir John Soane’s Museum and the Cabinet War Rooms Museum, but there are a host of others where you can while away an afternoon.

Some favorites are:

Bank of England Museum

British Library

British National Gallery

Courtauld Institute Gallery

Dulwich Picture Gallery

Hogarth House

Imperial War Museum

Leighton House Museum

Madame Tussaud

Museum of Childhood

Museum of London

National Gallery

National Maritime Museum

National Portrait Gallery

Royal Academy of Arts

Science Museum

Sir John Soane’s Museum

Tate Modern

Tate Britain

Transport Museum

Victoria and Albert Museum

Wallace Collection

Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum

While visiting the Tate Modern for a great meal with spectacular, romantic views over London, it’s hard to beat the sleek and stylish Tate Modern Restaurant located on level 7 of London’s Tate Museum of Modern. From Sunday to Thursday the restaurant is only open from 10:00 – 6.00 pm, but on Friday and Saturday the restaurant stays open until 11:00 p.m. and offers incomparable views and good food.
