Best time to visit London

Spring in London (March to May, shoulder season) brings mild days around 9–15°C (48–59°F), blooming parks, and lengthening daylight hours. It is an inviting time for relaxed sightseeing and riverside walks, with a gentler pace than the height of summer.

Summer in London (June to August, peak season) sees average temperatures of 18–24°C (64–75°F), long evenings, and many outdoor events. Parks, rooftop spaces, and riverside paths feel especially lively, and extended daylight lets you fit more into each day.
