London never runs short of things to do under cover. The best indoor activities span the world-class free museums, immersive art, climbing centres, trampoline parks, escape rooms, bowling, gaming cafes and more, so a grey sky need never spoil a day. Here is how to choose, by mood and by group.
Culture without the queue for the weather
Start with the great free museums and galleries, then add immersive art at Frameless or the Moco Museum. Our guides to free museums and museums cover the essentials.
Active indoor days out
For energy to burn, try trampoline parks, laser tag, indoor climbing, bowling or crazy golf. They work for families, teens and groups alike.
Puzzles, games and experiences
Test your team with escape rooms, let off steam in a rage room, or settle in at a board game cafe. All are booked ahead and run year-round.
Good to know
Most indoor attractions use timed tickets, so book online to lock in your slot and the cheapest price. For a dedicated wet-weather plan, see our rainy day London guide.
