When is the best time to visit London?

What should I pack for London weather?

Layering is essential. A waterproof jacket and comfortable walking shoes work year-round. In winter (December–February), add a warm coat, scarf and gloves; temperatures rarely dip below freezing but dampness can bite. Summer requires light layers—a jumper for cooler evenings is wise, even in July. Umbrellas are handy but a hood often suffices.
