Best time to visit London

The best time to visit London is in the spring when the temperatures are mild and the city’s parks are green and blooming.

It’s important to note though that December in London is an incredibly popular place to be during the holidays, so expect the streets to be crowded with both English and international tourists. And no matter when you travel, you should pack an umbrella: London is notorious for experiencing misty days and showers year-round.
