Planning Your Trip
London is a year-round destination. Spring (March-May) offers blooming parks, summer (June-August) is lively with festivals, autumn (September-November) showcases golden hues, and winter (December-February) dazzles with holiday lights.
Check visa rules: US, Canada, and EU visitors typically don’t need one for short stays. Pack for rain any season!
