Relaxing afternoon in London - ideas?

[headshoulderskneestoesheart]

I'm going to have an unexpected 4 hours to myself in London this afternoon in between a meeting and a work event. I'd love to do something restful, rather than trawling through the shops or needing to plug my brain in for a museum. Any suggestions? I'll be in Marble Arch area but willing to jump on a bus/tube

Maybe a spa in one of the smart hotels ?

It’s snowing & raining in Central London at the moment so I’d definitely pick something where you can get inside & stay there.

Tate modern? Fun gift shops and sofas to sit on, as well as the art. Weather will have cleared by this afternoon too so you can wander along the south bank

Covent Garden? There’s a nice bar/coffee shop in Theatre Royal Drury Lane which is usually pretty quiet. If you are at Marble Arch look at afternoon tea in the Lanesborough.

Welcome collection opposite Euston Station. Interesting exhibitions, lovely cafe and a comfy reading room - you can just pick a book off the shelf. Never too busy.

Go to one of the big bookshops, pick up a new book and sit in a fancy coffee shop or hotel bar with a yummy coffee and cake

Afternoon tea!

Ooh that's a handy one.

Perfection!
