Where can you cool down during a UK heatwave?

During hot weather, many people look for air-conditioned cafes, pubs, restaurants, shopping centres and public buildings because most UK homes do not have built-in cooling. The UK Aircon Map is designed for those moments when you need somewhere nearby to sit down, buy a drink or meal, and get out of a hot room for a while.

It is especially useful in larger cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow, Cardiff and Edinburgh, where walking distance and public transport options matter. Always check opening hours before travelling, especially during heatwaves when venues can be busier than usual.
