How to Travel to London

A Vibrant Guide to Exploring the UK’s Capital - Updated March 04, 2025

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!

Fly into Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW), or Stansted (STN). Heathrow is the busiest, with global connections. Book early for deals!
