Turn a damp afternoon into a liquid education at The Wine Bar in Soho, which does guided tastings of natural wines for under £20. They’ll teach you to spot notes of “wet stone” and “barnyard,” which are apparently good things. If you’re hungry, Broadway Market’s indoor food hall has everything from Ethiopian stews to vegan doughnuts, all under one roof.
Cultural nod: London’s covered markets, like Borough Market and Maltby Street Market, stay bustling despite the weather. Go on a weekday to avoid crowds and try the truffle-scented cheese from Neal’s Yard Dairy. Pro tip: bring a reusable bag—you’ll want to buy a loaf of sourdough and a jar of honey that’s almost too pretty to eat.
