Things to do in London: a UK weekend break
London has more to do than one weekend can hold, so it pays to plan. Many of the big museums are free, including the British Museum, the Natural History Museum and the National Gallery. The West End has dozens of theatres, and the Thames Path links Westminster, the South Bank and Tower Bridge.

Questions about UK weekend breaks
Is it free to use?
Yes. Searching for things to do and places to stay is free, with no sign-up. Planning it in the planner is free too, as many single trips as you like. The Deal Club adds multi-centre tours and deals from your own airport.
Where do the ideas come from?
Tickets for days out and shows come from Lovetovisit, tours from Civitatis, places to see from Wikipedia, and restaurants and theatres from OpenStreetMap listings. Hotel prices come from a live search on trivago. They are ideas to look at, not recommendations, so check opening times, reviews and prices before you go.
Do you book the hotel or the tickets?
No. You book directly with the hotel, booking site or ticket seller. Some links are affiliate links: if you book through them we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you.
Does it work outside the UK?
Mostly. Tours, places to see, restaurants and hotel prices work almost anywhere. Lovetovisit and LateRooms only cover the UK, so those links show for UK places only.
