What to expect
When to go
London's seasons don't count for a whole lot, so be prepared for all conditions at any time of year.
However, January through to March can be especially bitter, while the summer sees a huge influx of
people and the streets and public transport can get sticky and crowded. The run up to Christmas can
also be hectic. This makes spring and autumn ideal times to visit the city.

Must see sights
First-time tourist: Stroll around Regent's Park, browse the market stalls
for antiques on Portobello Road and sample some modern art at the Tate.

and Parliament hills are great places to walk and look back at the city.
Culture vulture: Theatres cover the West End, while Kensington is the place
to head for museums.
Insider tips
Oxford Street and Leicester Square can get extremely crowded and are
generally over-priced - they are best avoided.
Looking to do London on the cheap? Many of the city's galleries and museums
are free (though donations are welcomed).
London is best seen by foot or by bus, though the area covered by the city
is huge, so plan your route in advance if you can.
