You know what they say—it is never a good time to visit London, UK, if you hate rain. Because the chances are that regardless of the time of the year you visit, you’ll get to experience it. But rain aside, here is when you should plan your visit to London.
Best Weather and Most Events: Between June and August
If you want to experience as little rain as possible, then the summertime should be your pick. London has the best weather between June and August, while this time of the year will also afford you quite a lot of activities. The city is buzzing with life, with festivals and cultural events happening all around. The downside is that London is the most crowded during these months.
Best Exploring: September Through October, April Through May
Interested in exploring London and seeing everything it has to offer? Then, head there in early fall or spring. The weather can get unpredictable, but you will get plenty of dry weather. Additionally, there won’t be many tourists flooding the city, allowing you to properly enjoy the city’s most famous tourist attractions at your own pace.
Best Prices: January
The New Year celebration aside, January might be the most affordable month for visitors in London. The holiday season is over, and the temperatures are getting low, while the rain is becoming an everyday occurrence. This means there are not many people coming and going, bringing the prices of accommodation and flights significantly down. The experience might not be ideal, but there are still plenty of fun things to do indoors when the time gets really rough.
