England’s capital is not only the largest city in Western Europe, but is also its most vibrant. The home of the Queen, Big Ben and the famous Hackney Carriage is also home to one of the most cosmopolitan populations in the world, which has left its mark on this ancient yet very cutting edge metropolis.
England’s capital city attracts millions of visitors each year, and it offers up something for everyone whatever time you visit. If you’re looking to indulge in retail therapy, hit the January sales or come over Christmas. Festival lovers, meanwhile, can consider the warmer summer months. And those seeking historical sites would be best to come in spring or autumn, when there’s less queuing and strain on the tubes and buses.
Late spring and the summer months are the busiest times to visit the city. In these months, the temperatures can get extremely hot and the sights and transport links are packed out, so come outside of these periods if you want to avoid the masses. Festival season is also in full swing, and lots of the city’s parks and open spaces are taken over with events.
