Spring in London
Many people planning to visit the UK wonder what the best time of year to visit London is. London is not known for having particularly good weather at any time of year, but there are certain times of year that are best for visits to London.
One of the best times to visit London is in the late spring. Temperatures are usually warm and flowers and trees are in full bloom. London parks like St. James’s Park and Hyde Park are beautiful in late spring, and the tourist crowds are not yet at their summer peaks.
If you like festivals and the chance of warmer weather, the best time of year to visit London is in the summer. There are concerts in Hyde Park, music and theatre festivals throughout the city, and Londoners are out in droves when the weather is nice.
If you don’t like crowds and you don’t mind cold weather, the best time of year to visit London is in the winter. You can enjoy mulled wine at London’s many Christmas markets or ring in the new year along the Thames. The only drawback to visiting London in the winter is that some attractions are closed or have shorter opening hours. Make sure to check before you visit.
