Bank holidays


London has around eight public holidays every year, when banks and many businesses are closed. Plan your trip with these and school holidays in mind.

Public holidays, or "bank holidays" as they are known, are spread throughout the year and mark religious, historical and special events.
Many of London's shops, attractions and businesses stay open throughout the public holidays. But be sure to check opening times before visiting on these days as some will open for reduced hours and others might not open at all.
