You could easily argue that there's no such thing as a bad time to visit England's capital city – world-class events running year-round, incredible galleries and museums, cozy pubs, and beautifully landscaped parks and gardens. London does not hold back from flaunting its many stunning attractions no matter what the weather is doing....although, spoiler alert, what it's doing often involves gray skies.

Prices might be higher, but the option to entertain outdoors means summer is when London is at its most exciting and glamorous.

London's parks fill up with locals enjoying the summer sun, and beer gardens overflow with the sound of vitamin-D-induced joy and laughter. It's the perfect time to skip the speed of the tube and explore the city on foot.
Easter to May and mid-September to October are the best times for beautiful scenery
Spring can be a delightful time to visit the city, with events starting to pick up and many flowers blooming in the city's gardens. It can also be pretty wet, so bring a waterproof jacket.
London in the fall means anything from dreary wet and windy days to crisp, bright sunshine glowing off the spectacular autumn scenery across the city's many parks and commons. Read More…
