"Aah, It's Spitting!"

Don't let drizzle put a dampener on your holiday plans. Peter Kay, the Bolton born comedian, memorably based one of his acts on the British weather, claiming that the British would be Olympic champions at activities liable to be ruined by the weather - ranging from riding on a roller coaster to pegging out the newly laundered washing to dry. "Aah, it's spitting" he would say.

Independent travellers in London can still make the most of their time in the capital with a Walk Talk Tour. There arefive mp3 guided Walk Talk Tours of the capital. Thinking of things to do in the rain, especailly if its heavy can be tricky. If the heavens open, or it starts to spit with rain, visitors can enter one of the numerous galleries, museums or places of worship dotted along route.

One of my favourite wet weather venues is the British Museum. The photo above is of the Great Court - London's first public covered square - designed by Sir Norman Foster.

The British Museum is currently hosting The American Scene: Prints from Pollock to Hopper artwork from the first sixty or so years of the twentieth century.

Visitor to the British Museum can view its most contentious exhibits the Parthenon Sculptures, often called the “Elgin Marbles” because Lord Elgin arranged their removal from the Parthenon, the most significant ancient temple in Athens.
