Summer is probably the busiest season for London when most of the tourists flood the city. A lot depends on the weather but if it turns out nice, summer is probably the best time to visit London.

July is usually sunny and the city is getting ready for the City of London Festival of Music and Theatre, Covent Garden Festival, Wimbledon tennis championships and Hyde Park summer concerts. Eric Clapton is coming in June to perform with Sheryl Crow and John Mayer at Hyde Park. August is probably the most active month of the summer – Notting Hill Carnival, which attracts millions of people from all around the world takes place as well as the Hyde Park Proms – both of these events make hotel prices soar. Central London hotels are perfect as you can either walk to venues like The Proms at Hyde Park or travel shortly.

Autumn is a good time to visit London as well. It is still warm and dry. Theatres present a range of new shows and there are many events taking place. September is probably the best option, because October and November are often glum, dark and generally unpleasant for sightseeing. However, it is good to visit for a few days to attend an event.

Winter season is not bad in London. There is no snow and it’s not that cold as in many other countries. The mood is cheerful as Christmas is approaching and the city looks nice if it doesn’t rain. It is good to travel after December as most hotels drop prices, but the atmosphere changes drastically – people have post-Christmas blues.
