London: Best Time to Visit

London stays busy year round, so hotels really don't have a low season and costs stay the same. 
Hotels are often booked up during holidays and special events
January/February
  • Less tourists, but cold and miserable weather
  • Short days, less daylight
  • Late January - early February: Chinese New Year (Chinatown and Soho District)

April/May
  • Easter: very busy holiday
  • Early April: annual boat race
  • Mid-May: has longer days and a better chance of good weather
  • Holidays: Good Friday through Easter Monday, first and last Monday in May (bank holiday), last full week of May (summer break, difficult to travel and book popular destinations like Bath or Brighton).

June
  • International Ceramics fair
  • Summer festivals and concerts
  • Wimbledon tennis championship

July/August
  • Early July: summer festivals
  • Holidays: last Monday in August (bank holiday)

September/October
  • Late September: less tourists

November/December
  • Short days, less daylight
  • December: crowded shopping
  • Holidays: December 25th (no train or bus service on Christmas day), December 26th (Boxing Day, reduced transportation service)
  • Do not plan on arriving Christmas Day. There is no public transportation and few restaurants will be open.
  • Taxis charge an extra fee on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Years Eve.
