A summer vacation in London – What you can expect!

With British summer’s being notoriously wet and comparatively cold to the continent, Brits have traditionally head to sunnier climes for their annual fix of sun.

Although with the British Stirling being at a seemingly endless stagnant low against the Euro meaning holidays in the likes of Spain, France and Italy aren’t as cheap as they once were, and with the recession of 2008 meaning many have ‘tightened their belt’ when it comes to their summer holiday, there is an increasing number of Britons choosing to holiday in the UK, with London being a popular destination.

It is a fact that London and the South East has one of the mildest climates in the UK, and although the weather can be a little more unpredictable than the likes of sunny Spain, summer’s in London can be extremely pleasant with temperatures averaging at around 18 degrees Celsius, intermitted, particularly in recent years, with heat waves and temperatures soaring into the 30s.

For some these pleasantly warm temperatures in London in the summer are favourable to the stifling hot conditions on the continent in the months of July and August.

Asides being home to usually pleasant – but sometimes unpredictable – weather, London makes a fantastic summer holiday, for all the family.
