Things to do in Rainy London

April 23, 2016 in Entertainment

london

London has a reputation for being foggy, however it should really have a reputation for being rainy. I, like a lot of people, thought that the British going on about the weather all the time was an unfair stereotype that probably wasn’t true. It was only until I went there that I realized I was talking about the weather the majority of the time. Luckily, London is just as interesting in the rain as it is the sun. So what if you can’t lounge around in Hyde Park all day. There is so much more do in London, in rain or shine.

Natural History Museum
Found near the Victoria and Albert art museum (another great rainy day visit), this place is brilliant if you have kids. Now, it’s similar to the one in New York, but with different exhibits, obviously. It’s really fun, plus you and your kids will learn a tonne. The place covers everything from dinosaurs to the Great Barrier Reef, and from a butterfly collection with thousands of specimens to exhibits on life in space. It has got a bit of everything.

Shows
London’s West End (their Broadway) is the classiest theater district in the world and has the best shows. Our ones are bigger, but cheesier. The British know how to keep things classy, whether it’s their version of the Lion King which is absolutely fantastic or the recent addition of Cyndi Lauper’s Kinky Boots. You could entertain yourself for weeks with the shows on offer.

Madame Tussauds
You can visit the original Madame Tussauds in London, filled to the rafters with scarily accurate waxworks that you genuinely do expect to spring alive at any moment. Anyone who is anyone has been sculpted into wax and is ready to be posed with for photos. I never understood the appeal of wax museums, but this place made me realise that they can be great fun and kids really love being able to see their favourite celebrities (or to them, Harry Potter and Gandalf) ‘in person’.

TV
Yes, I know what you’re thinking: ‘I can watch TV at home’, but sometimes, even on vacation, it’s nice to just sit back and chillax with the TV on and a ‘cuppa’ (that’s a cup of tea to us). Also, British TV is so good, that you won’t feel too guilty for missing out on seeing Buckingham Palace because you were too busy watching countless reruns of Doctor Who. What they also have over there is Sky TV which is just like HBO and ABC, but British. It’s where they watch Game of Thrones, but anyway if your apartment (or flat in the UK) has it, then you should definitely waste a few hours with it, just find their number here, contacttelephonenumbers.com and give them a call to see if your ‘flat’ or hotel has access.

So, if you are vacationing in London, don’t expect to get a tan, but then again, I doubt anyone goes to London for the weather, but goes to soak in one of the most amazing and interesting cities on the planet.

    I love these ideas, I have to admit I am a huge fan of the West End and wish I could get there more often to take in a show! x

    London sounds like a great place to visit. I would love to go to Madame Tussauds.

    A friend of mine just recently visited London and, sure enough, it was raining most of the time. It’s good to see there are things to still do there when the weather is bad.

#ad/gifted #ahavalove Siri, remove my makeup...S #ad/gifted #ahavalove 

Siri, remove my makeup...Siri, are you there?!!!

Ok, so that is not possible yet. 😂 But dang, you guys know I love trying new masks and peels. And after I removed my makeup, I tried out this AHAVA PURIFYING MUD Mask. 

No fillers, no fluff, no surprises in this product.  It's vegan and paraben free.  It feels so light on the skin and when it dries it almost feels like you can feel the goodness soak into your skin.  You only leave it on for two minutes and then wash it off. My skin felt so fresh and clean after this mask. Then, I applied the Ahava moisturizer and my skin felt so nice. 

If you want to try this mask or moisturizer for yourself or if you want to check out their other products, check out their website and use the code:  YOUR30 for 30% off site wide.  No need to thank me! Treat yourself, yo.
