London is one of those cities which offers as much  on a rainy day as on a dry one. In fact, the world's image of  London is of red buses swishing through puddles, misty mornings on streets lined with old buildings, and fog. In reality, the fog is very rare - mostly never - it rains less and less... but yes - the old buildings are true!
London has as much to see inside as outside: museums, galleries, historic buildings, great shops, exhibitions, theatres, cinemas, and atmosphere in plenty.

One great place on a rainy day is the Cabinet War Rooms (photo above) in the heart of Whitehall. it was from here that Winston Churchill planned the UKs second world war effort. It remains the same today as in the 1940s, underground, to avoid the Blitz of London in the 40s and the rain today!

Two of the world's finest and oldest museums are also in London: the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum. If a day really turns bad on the weather front, catch a tube (underground), and make your way over to South Kensington  to visit these great places. Both are suitable for the whole family!

Madam Tussauds will be loved by all the family and if you get a combined ticket (recommended) to the planetarium, you will spend the best part of a rainy afternoon enthralled and delighted!
