When to visit
Despite the temperateness of the English climate, it's impossible to say with any degree
of certainty that the weather will be pleasant in any given month. With average daily
temperatures of around 22°C, English summers rarely get unbearably hot, while the win-
ters (average daily temperature 6-10°C) don't get very cold - though they're often wet.
However, whenever you come, be prepared for all eventualities: it has been known to
snow at Easter and rain all day on August Bank Holiday weekend. As far as crowds go,
tourists stream into London pretty much all year round, with peak season from Easter to
October, and the biggest crush in July and August, when you'll need to book your ac-
commodation well in advance.
