When to visit

The best time to visit London is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons when the weather is mild and the city is less crowded. Summers (June to August) can be busy with tourists, and winters (December to February) can be cold and rainy. However, London has a lot to offer year-round, with various festivals and events taking place throughout the year.

Getting around

London has an extensive public transportation system, including the iconic red double-decker buses, underground trains (known as the Tube), and taxis. The Tube is the most convenient way to get around the city, with 11 lines covering all major areas. Visitors can also use the Oyster card, a rechargeable smart card, to pay for public transportation. Walking is also a popular option, especially in central London where many attractions are within walking distance of each other.

Traveller tips

Here are some tips for travelers visiting London: Purchase an Oyster card for convenient and cost-effective travel on public transportation. Check the opening hours of attractions in advance, as some may have limited hours or require pre-booking. Be prepared for unpredictable weather by carrying an umbrella or raincoat. Explore the city's diverse food scene, from traditional British pub fare to international cuisines. Take advantage of free attractions and activities, such as visiting the British Museum or exploring the parks and gardens.
