Seasons in London

As a bustling and diverse destination, there's never a bad time to visit. With each month offering something unique, you'll find yourself swept up in the excitement of this iconic city no matter when you go, with plenty of things to do.



Whether you're strolling through the fresh blooms of spring, soaking up the sun in the summer, or taking in the crisp autumn air, London has something for everyone. And when winter rolls around, there's nothing quite like seeing the city transformed by the first snowfall.



London experiences four distinct seasons throughout the year, each with its own unique weather and characteristics. Let’s find out more on the four seasons!



Winter:

London's winter lasts from December to February, with occasional cold, grey days and drizzle. Although there can be snow, it's generally uncommon in central London. The temperature during winter usually maxes out at 8°C during the day and 2°C at night.

While there may be snow in London in winter, it's generally uncommon in central London. There can be drizzle and showers, but there's also occasional pale sunshine that brightens up the day.

And often, due to the lack of sunshine and short days, many would think that London in winter is not worth visiting. But don't let that stop you as there are many other indoor attractions in London.



Spring:

Spring is a time of change in London and it generally starts in March and lasts until May, with the first stirrings of change and buds on trees.

By early March, you'll see buds on trees and the first signs of spring. Although the longer days usually mean more sunshine, February and March can still be damp, more so than the winter months.

By May, days are long, and temperatures are starting to average close to 20°C.



Summer:

Summer in London lasts from June to August and is the high point of the year.

It is the high point of the year in London. Very long days mean more sunshine, and that often sees Londoners moving outdoors en masse, whether to pavement cafes, deck chairs in Hyde Park, or even to the seaside.



In July, the maximum temperature averages 24°C, and with 7 hours of sunshine per day, the concept of London being a cool city is not necessarily true. Although long stretches of sunny and clear days aren't the norm, there can be days when the temperatures rise about 25-28°C.



On days like those, central London can feel very warm, and you'll need sunscreen, especially if you take river cruises on the Thames!



Getting Around:

Far and away the best way to get around London – besides walking or cycling, of course! – is via public transit. You have two basic options, the Tube (also called "the Underground") and buses.



Hailing Taxi and grabbing an Uber are always available as well.
