Londen is een van de spannendste steden ter wereld - maar het is niet een van de droogste! Hoewel Londen vele maanden per jaar zonneschijn biedt, is het weer zeker onvoorspelbaar en kan regen zelfs de best voorbereide bezoeker verrassen. Gelukkig zijn er, als het slecht weer is, genoeg overdekte attracties in Londen en deze lijst geeft je een overzicht van een aantal van de beste dingen die je binnen in Londen kunt doen. Wie maakt zich eigenlijk zorgen over de regen? Wij zeker niet!

One of the best indoor attractions London has to offer has got to be The Tower of London, where you can see over 1000 years of British Royal History including the incredible Crown Jewels. You can even have a guided Beefeater tour where these expert guides, dressed in their traditional uniforms, share stories of intrigue, betrayal, and royal drama that have unfolded within the Tower’s walls. In addition to the Crown Jewels, you can view the historic armor of British kings and queens, the medieval White Tower, and the famous ravens that guard the site. With its rich history and captivating exhibits, the Tower of London offers a truly immersive experience that brings centuries of British history to life. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply interested in exploring one of London’s most iconic landmarks, the Tower of London offers a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.

De meeste van de belangrijkste toeristische plekken van Londen zijn te zien vanaf de Theems (een rivier die dwars door het hart van de stad stroomt). Waarom spring je bij slecht weer niet op een boottocht zoals City Cruises en geniet je van alle bezienswaardigheden vanuit een rivierboot? Je kunt onderweg prachtige foto's maken en er is zelfs een café aan boord, zodat je kunt genieten van een kopje thee (of twee!).

As you cruise along the river, you’ll pass iconic landmarks such as the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Shard, offering a unique perspective of the city’s stunning skyline. Some tours even include live commentary, providing fascinating insights into London’s history and architecture as you sail. For an extra special experience, consider an evening cruise where you can see the city lights reflecting beautifully on the water, creating a magical atmosphere. Whether you choose a sightseeing tour, an afternoon tea cruise, or a dinner cruise with live entertainment, exploring London from the Thames is a relaxing and memorable way to take in the sights—rain or shine!

A classic indoor London attraction is The London Dungeon, where you will be taken on a terrifying 90-minute tour detailing the dark history of London. The Dungeon is a great choice for older children, or teenagers, as it combines live actors, interactive shows, and thrilling rides to bring to life the gruesome tales of London’s past, including the infamous Jack the Ripper, the Great Fire of London, and the Tower of London’s bloody history. Visitors will find themselves immersed in eerie, atmospheric sets that make history feel both real and chilling. The experience is designed to be both fun and educational, offering a unique way to learn about London’s more sinister past while providing plenty of thrills along the way. With its combination of storytelling, dark humor, and heart-pounding moments, The London Dungeon is perfect for those seeking an adrenaline rush or looking to experience the darker side of the city’s history. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, this thrilling attraction is bound to leave you with lasting memories—and maybe even a few chills!
