London at Easter

Q: I liked your site! But I wounder if Easter is a good time to visit London? I saw that you liked it! Thats how I found your site but I suspect that everything is closed during Easter? Museums and shops? My husband and I are planning to go the 20-23 of March. But are there anything open then? I would like to visit the Roof Garden if possible. Are restaurants and bars closed? Do you have any recommendations?

A: Yes, easter is a very good time to visit London in my view - its not too cold and not too hot (though sometimes it is rainy), and you avoid the big crowds of summer.

And no, most shops and museums are open even on easter Sunday. The only day most places are usually closed is christmas day, so if you visit at easter you should find enough places open to keep you entertained, fed and catered for!

New years Day

Q: We will be arriving in London on New Years Eve and wonder if there are any attractions/shops/museums open in London on New Years Day.

A: Yes, most places should be open in London on New Years Day, though if you have some specific museums in mind it might be worth checking on their websites.

You may however find that some places operate Sunday opening hours so for example, might not open until after lunchtime.

London at Christmas - 2

Q:

I would like to visit London between 26.12-3.01.05.

I am asking you if and which museums are opened in that period? I really hope that I can visit anything without being afraid that because holiday they'll be closed.

What about stores? Are they opened?

I also like to visit London's surrowndings. Are the buses traveling?

A: most London museums and stores are open during that time, apart from on christmas day.

And yes, the buses will be running - even on christmas day, though probably with a reduced service on that day.
