2. Watch a cult classic at an indie cinema 🍿

Snuggle into a velvet seat and try not to fall asleep at one of London’s cosy indie cinema options. 2025 definitely is a great year for the movies, with remakes like Superman and The Fantastic 4, animated fun like The Bad Guys 2, or horror like Bring Her Back to make you wonder what’s scarier - the movie or the thunder outside! Titles like this can give you plenty to enjoy until the rain dies down outside. Did I mention the popcorn and slushies?

Cosy up in a velvet seat at Electric Cinema, Genesis, or the Prince Charles Cinema. Whether it’s a nostalgic throwback or the latest indie flick, it’s the perfect indoor lull to warm you up.

3. Go for a high score at London’s arcade scene 🕹️

Remember arcades? Now imagine them three stories tall, containing a go kart track, bowling, and virtual reality! London kicks the old school classic hang out up a notch with neon lights, slides to enter, and a multitude of activities to keep you clear of the weather for a while. These venues have plenty to choose from. Whether you’re wanting old classics like pinball and pacman, or wanting to strap in and fight off zombies up close and personal.

‍4. Give London some colour back by visiting some of its indoor greenery 🌿

Now I know for those teens and kids on their summer holidays, a bunch of plants might not sound too exciting, but…like most things - London takes what you know and dials it up to 11. Enjoy some plantlife way up indoors on one of London’s largest highrises, or enjoy one of London’s largest observatories located alongside a shopping centre with cafes, movies, and more to do.
