When to visit London
As a global capital for business and tourism, London is busy year-round. People from different parts of the world each have their own favorite seasons, keeping the flow of visitors steady and prices relatively high. Most overseas travelers favor the summer months because of school vacations and warmer weather. The spring sees fewer visitors overall, but the Japanese come during their traditional April and May vacations. Winter is the least popular time, due to cold temperatures and heavy rain, except in December when U.K. visitors pour into London for school holidays and the Christmas shopping and theater seasons. December, July, and August are the busiest months of the year, while January is ideal for those looking to save a little extra cash.
