London Activities In Winter

[lozzy1992]

My boyfriend and I are visiting London for Valentines weekend. The cold is putting us off going to many place such as the london zoo. We are students which aren't fond of art galleries and been to history/science museums. My boyfriend doesn't like shopping but we like places like Camden market
Any suggestions on what we can do?? :)

Have a look at whats on in Time oUt for example. You'll find interesting current events and activities which might appeal more than the traditional museums and galleries.

A late night meal in Chinatown

Great food (at prices that students might actually be able to afford):

A (free) museum which I visited last year just to kill a bit of time, but I ended up spending several hours there:

A really good Wetherspoon's pub, right next door to the museum above:

Crossing the Thames by cable car is fun (and inexpensive):

A free (and very interesting) exhibition about the future development of the world's cities, right next to the northern end of the cable car:

(There's quite a lot of interactive stuff; it's not 'dry and boring', honestly! They also serve great coffee there)

Borough Market (an excellent food market) or Spittalfields Market (the latter is undercover with some unusual shops to browse as well as the market) might be worth a wander - the latter has some great pubs with London history attached to them. Enjoy:)

Or you could do the London Eye or The Shard ?
