Best time to visit

England’s capital city attracts millions of visitors each year, and it offers up something for everyone whatever time you visit. If you’re looking to indulge in retail therapy, hit the January sales or come over Christmas. Festival lovers, meanwhile, can consider the warmer summer months. And those seeking historical sites would be best to come in spring or autumn, when there’s less queuing and strain on the tubes and buses.

Avoid the crowds

Late spring and the summer months are the busiest times to visit the city. In these months, the temperatures can get extremely hot and the sights and transport links are packed out, so come outside of these periods if you want to avoid the masses. Festival season is also in full swing, and lots of the city’s parks and open spaces are taken over with events.
