London [antikvár]

PLANNING Before you go »High season i Low season London experiences defined seasons. Spring (March to May) has a mixture of sunshine and showers although winter can drag on into March. Summer (June to August) can be unpredictable; clear skies and long hot days one day followed by humid and overcast conditions the next. June has the advantage of long daylight hours; July and August are the hottest and the busiest with long school holidays. September is the official start of autumn, but often retains a summery feel, with October the real start of the season and the colder days setting in during November. Winter (December to February) is generally fairly mild, often wet and windy, any snow or very cold conditions not lasting long. The tip is to be prepared for any eventuality, dress in layers and take an umbrella. For a five-day weather forecast: www.bbc.co.uk/weather
