When to visit

Useful information to help you plan your trip.

London is busy and fun all year round, but it’s extremely magical during summer time (June-August) when it’s warmer and sunnier. Another great time to visit is pre-Christmas (November) when the street lights are already switched on and the temperature are not too low.
