If you’re looking to spend quality time with your spouse on a budget, then the charms of London in February are where you should be. With chilly weather, a jam-packed schedule of events, and a little bit of romance stepping in, February is a month many Londoners look forward to. With so much going on, you can get a little overwhelmed, but trust us, it is all worth it! So, here’s what you can do in London in February:
Visit the Canary Wharf Ice Rink
The festive season does not leave London soon. If you’re missing the Christmassy vibe and a bit of the holiday season, visit the Canary Wharf Ice Rink. This rink stays the longest in London while the others have mostly thawed away. Bring in your kids and/or your partner to enjoy the last winter spin. Ice Rink is an adventurous sport in winter and is mostly enjoyed by couples in February. Also, couples are booking the best hotels in Kensington to save a lot of money on accommodation.
Indulge in Live Drama Performances
London is the hub of live drama performances and theatre plays. Theatres like Her Majesty’s, Novello, Cambridge, and the Harold Pinter hold some of the best performances. The classic plays include The Phantom of the Opera, Matilda, and Mamma Mia!. Acted out by professionals, these plays are a treat to watch!
Witness Van Gogh’s Masterpieces
Van Gogh’s Immersive Art Experiences comes to London in February. These floor-to-ceiling projections of beautiful sunflowers, starry nights, and the self-portraits will put you in awe.
Kew Gardens Orchid Festival
The Kew Gardens has an annual display of Orchids and a ton of other flora every year. This flower festival begins in February and runs through March, right till the beginning of Spring. Escape from the dreary cold winds and admire the incredible display of blooming orchids and flowers.
The Snowy Hogwarts Experience
Hogwarts in winter is a must-visit! The nostalgia hits greatly when you visit the sites you’ve always seen in movies or theatres. Visit the Warner Bros Studio in London and witness the great Harry Potter Hall lined with Christmas trees, long tables with the iconic red table runners long with classic Christmas delicacies and puddings. And if you’re lucky enough or make it on time, you’ll even see a Yule Ball filled with snow and an orchestra that uses magical instruments.
