Let’s be real—everyone else is catching up on sleep or heading straight back to the office grind. That means you get the run of the place. It’s like having a VIP pass to one of the busiest cities on Earth.
Museums and galleries? Most of the big ones, like the British Museum or the Tate Modern, are still open. They just switch their closed days to Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So, on a Monday, you can stand in front of the Rosetta Stone without ten people photobombing your view.
Swap the Brooch for a Bookshop
If you’ve done the touristy stuff, why not lean into the cozy side of Monday? Think of it as the city’s “library voice” day. Head to a spot like Hatchards in Piccadilly—it’s the oldest bookshop in London, and on Monday, it feels like your private reading nook.
Or, grab a blanket and sit on the grass in Regent’s Park. The grass is still fresh from the weekend, and the only sound is the rustle of leaves. It’s a lot cheaper than a spa, and honestly, way more restorative.
