December is a month London does really well (it is one of my favourite times of year to visit). The lights are up, the tree is in Trafalgar Square, and the whole city smells faintly of mulled wine. The downside is less daylight, with the sun gone by four, but it is a good trade….
November is the month many people dismiss when planning when to visit London, and we think that is a mistake. It is the one month of the year when you can watch 6,500 people process through the City behind a gilded state coach, stand in silence at the Cenotaph with the Royal Family a few…

May is one of the best months to visit London. The days are long and warm, the parks are at their most beautiful, and the city’s events calendar is packed with everything from world-famous flower shows to open-air theatre, folk dancing and a star-studded charity football match.
