Things to do in London in the Rain

    Trocadero

    • On a rainy London day Funland at the Trocadero Centre, in the center of the city, offers a wide range of activities under one roof. Bowling, pool, arcades and movie theaters are in the same building, along with restaurants and bars. Just a one block from Piccadilly Circus tube station, the Trocadero is easily accessible from all over the city. The complex is open daily from 10 a.m. until 12 a.m , or 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

    Dungeon

    • The London Dungeon on Tooley Street, Central London, offers a tongue-in-cheek look at the darker side of the city's past. Exhibits based on the Great Fire of London, Jack the Ripper and Sweeney Todd are at the dungeon. The dungeon has two park rides, one based around the Tower of London's Traitors' Gate and a thrilling drop ride known as Extremis.

      Live actors play some of London's more evil past residents for an interactive experience. The dungeon is just a short walk from London Bridge tube station. Ticket prices, as of October 2010, begin at $20 and it's open every day of the year except Christmas Day.

    Sealife Aquarium

    • Located in the heart London, near Lambeth North tube station, the Sealife Aquarium has a host of aquatic exhibits to explore. Featuring fish species from all over the world as well as sharks, crocodiles and sea turtles, it is an attraction for all age groups. The aquarium runs daily "feed and talk" activities where staff will perform a presentation while feeding the fish. Open every day of the year except Christmas Day, ticket prices, as of October 2010, begin at $28.

    Pollock's Toy Museum

    • Pollock's Toy Museum is on Scala Street in Central London, just across from Goodge Street tube station. Opened in 1969, the museum is, as its name suggests, home to a wide range of antique toys including dolls, teddy bears and European folk toys. The museum has nine separate display areas each dedicated to a different type of toy. The lower floor of the museum houses a toy shop where visitors can buy new or old toys to take home. Open Monday through Saturday and closed on public holidays, admission prices, as of October 2010, begin at $8.
