It’s (almost) autumn in the UK. Whilst that means our fair share of gorgeous autumnal foliage and crisp, misty mornings, it also means it’s the time of year for that most long-standing of British features – rain. And make no mistake, we get a lot of it. Every year, we have an average of 133 days of rain<\/a> – not far off half the entire year. The stereotype of rainy British weather is 100% true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That certainly does not mean you can’t have a good time, however. We Brits have evolved a certain knack for finding fun activities on rainy afternoons. Live here for long enough, and you may even learn to enjoy the sound of rain splashing gently on your windows. After all, it wouldn’t be England without it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the off-chance you are caught on a wet-weather weekend, we’ve compiled this list of fantastic things to do in London<\/a> in the rain. Strap on your wellies, grab your umbrella and face the weather with true British spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museums at South Kensington<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it’s pouring down, you don’t want to be dashing from place to place. Your best bets are places where there’s a lot to see and do inside one building, the sort of place that can take up a whole morning just to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Museums at South Kensington<\/a> are just perfect for this. You can spend hours examining the fascinating creatures on display in the Natural History Museum or marvel at the beautiful designs in the Victoria & Albert. If you’re scientifically inclined, the Science Museum<\/a> will provide hours of fascination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
