There is no escape from the sudden downpours, even a trip to the continent is currently blocked by Kent's latest attraction - Europe's largest lorry park. Your best bet is to have a solid 'plan B' as a contingency for any planned summer activities. Luckily Discount London is here to help. We've put together an array of exciting days out, with a range of nearby indoor alternatives just in case the weather doesn't play along.
Transport
SHINE
Our first top tip is to beat the heat of the tube by taking advantage of the Original Open Top Bus Tour. Its views provide a far better backdrop than tatty old station adverts for miss-sold insurance policies while convenient stops close to many of London’s most popular destinations mean that it isn’t just for tourists.
RAIN
This one’s easy – sit downstairs! With on board commentary and a kid’s activity pack to keep the little ones busy the rain needn’t get in the way of an insightful and much more rewarding trip around town than the London Underground offers.
Food & Drink
SHINE
A staple of the British summertime, a picnic is the ideal way to while away the hours basking in the sunshine as you tuck into your favourite tasty treats. Regent’s Park lies in the heart of the city close to many nearby attractions, making it an ideal pit stop for weary travelers.
RAIN
Take advantage of our low cost London Zoo tickets & meal deal packages. Dine at London restaurants just a stone’s throw from Regent’s Park including the trendy Strada Camden and world famous Planet Hollywood. Inside Planet Hollywood you’ll find a wealth of memorabilia that’s not just for kids!
Sightseeing
SHINE
Embark on a high octane adventure along the River Thames, on board a river thames speedboat. Take a thrilling ride on one of the fastest vessels on the river as you hurtle past many of London’s most impressive sights. Warning- You may get wet even if it isn’t raining!
RAIN
All our river thames cruises (that don’t take place on speedboats) offer a fantastic atmosphere complete with a roof to keep the rain out. With specially designed panoramic windows you won’t miss a thing. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy a luxurious meal, leisurely lunch or delicious afternoon tea.
Attractions
SHINE
London has one of the most impressive collection of royal residences in the world. These beautiful buildings can be enjoyed whatever the weather, but to experience them fully it’s best to visit when the sun is shining. Explore an array of magnificent rolling gardens as you lose yourself in the majesty of Kensington Palace, Hampton Court Palace and of course the iconic Tower of London.
RAIN
Two of London’s newest additions are both completely sheltered from the elements. Shrek’s Adventure and KidZania offer immersive experiences designed with kids in mind. Shrek’s Adventure offers a laugh a minute ride for the whole family, while KidZania provides children a fun filled way to learn a thing or two inside a world where they’re the boss!
