What Is The Best Time To Visit London?
The best time to visit London depends on what you want from your trip. Spring (March to May) is perfect for mild weather, blooming gardens, and outdoor sightseeing. Summer (June to August) brings long days, lively festivals, and plenty of outdoor events, though it can be busy with tourists. Autumn (September to November) offers crisp air, beautiful fall foliage in the parks, and fewer crowds. Winter (December to February) is quieter, with coy cafes, scenic walks, and a chance to explore London's iconic landmarks without long lines.
