Rain-friendly Things To Do This Weekend In London
1. Indoor Activities
Londoners almost never leave the house without their Oyster Card and an umbrella. Even in the height of summer, there’s a risk of rain in London every three days, according to weather statistics. But don’t let that deter you; there are plenty of indoor activities and ways to enjoy the city even when it’s raining outdoors. So, to make sure you’re ready here’s our list of rainy-day activities in London.
All Star Lanes
All Star Lanes is a high-end bowling alley that also includes a modern American restaurant and a cocktail bar. The bowling franchise has multiple locations, never leaving you short of things to do this week in London. The cosy atmosphere, spacious lanes and delicious American style food are guaranteed to giving you the best weekend experience indoors!

Cousins Snooker & Pool Club
Cousins is a pleasant and friendly club with excellent amenities. They are a family-owned and operated snooker club with more than 20 years of expertise. They are conveniently located off the bustling Holloway Road, with excellent road and rail connections. There are 16 full-size snooker tables, 7 English pool tables, and 1 American pool table, as well as a fully licenced bar, inside the club.
Flipout Trampoline Parks
Flip Out began with outdoor trampoline parks throughout Australia and progressed, in colder climates, to provide indoor facilities of between 14,000 and 65,000 sq ft. The parks can see between 100 and 350 people an hour and include a reception/briefing area, the main arena, up to 11 party rooms, and diner/café facilities. Since 2015 the UK has pioneered the adventure style format to include slides, free running, inflatables, assault courses with the latest technology and incredible customer service. All our focus is on delivering a fun family experience from the minute you enter the park and creating memories that last a lifetime.

2. Galleries
If you see yourself getting caught in a downpour in Trafalgar Square when looking for things to do this weekend in London, well then the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and Somerset House are all within a couple of minutes walk of each other. And most galleries are in fact completely free for you to roam around in, however, booking is required. Of course, these staple Galleries are the perfect rainy day escape but we’ve also found some of London’s lesser-known art galleries for a bit of a different perspective.

3. Sightseeing
We understand many of London’s popular sights are outside and not particularly rainy-weather friendly. So if sights are what was amongst the things you wanted to do this weekend in London, we have the best-sheltered sights so you can stay dry and still enjoy London’s beautiful attractions.
The London Eye
The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel and is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3 million visitors annually. The perfect view of London but from a dry and very sheltered place, perfect for a rainy day!

Madame Tussauds
Be on your way to becoming a celebrity! Accept your invitation to Madame Tussauds London, the capital’s home of legendary fun, and step into the spotlight. Join your favourite celebrities at the ULTIMATE A-list bash, walk the runway with Cara, and sit in the hot seat with Will. Join i.am in The Voice Experience or stand on the historic balcony with the Royal Family. Explore the jungles of Kong: Skull Island after testing your bravery in Alien: Escape. Take a London cab on a 400-year journey through the capital’s history before joining the Marvel Super Heroes for a crime-fighting adventure. Then utilise the force to travel to a galaxy far, far away and take part in the action alongside the Star Wars legends. All without the dreaded rain to ruin your experience, what do you have to lose?

Barbican
We all know The Barbican Estate, isn’t a really attractive thing to see in London. This concrete drab, strangely shaped building is impossible to appreciate at first sight unless you’re a huge lover of Brutalist design (or a Guildhall student). However, The green Barbican Conservatory, a glass-bound rainforest in the middle of the City, is one such place that is both gorgeous and adored by many. And this indoor, lush paradise opened seven days a week last summer and has recently reopened to visitors once again- so there’s really no reason not to pay a visit!
