Visit London in Winter for a True "Back Door" Experience

Posted by: Wilcox Travel in Winter Vacations, Save Money, London on Dec 28, 2009

If you're looking for a winter vacation that is free of all the hordes of tourists, yet still offers an entertaining off-season adventure, travel guru Rick Steves has a suggestion for you: Visit London in winter and save money while avoiding the usual crush of humanity.

As an off-season adventurer, you can wander alone through the National Gallery, gaze at the crown jewels undisturbed, and be the only one trying to talk to stiff-lipped guards at Buckingham Palace. In wintertime London, you’ll stroll beneath Big Ben and wonder, “Where are the tourists?”

Despite the short days and dreary weather, Londoners have plenty of reasons to go outdoors this time of year. One of the coolest wintertime activities is to don some skates and hit one of the outdoor ice rinks around town. Somerset House and the Tower of London compare to the Rockefeller Center ice rink in New York — but they’re even better, because you get to glide alongside the facade of a grand neoclassical building or under the shadow of London’s most famous prison and execution site. (Be thankful that the blades are on your feet, not above your head.) Ice rinks also sprawl in front of the Natural History Museum and Hampton Court Palace.
