About the data

This map is a helpful starting point, not a guarantee. Venue details can change, and many good places will not be listed yet. If air conditioning is essential, check with the venue before travelling.

How to use it

Search for a town, postcode, area or venue name, then use the category filters to narrow the results. Opening a marker shows the venue address, website and verification date where available.

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.
