If you don’t mind cold weather, you should try to visit London during December. The temperatures are very low, averaging between 2 and 6°C, so make sure to wrap up warm!

London is spectacular during December. The whole city is lit up with sparking lights, and you can find lots of seasonal Christmas markets to visit. However, this is a very popular time of the year for tourists so it is likely that flights and hotels will be more expensive. If you want to prioritize saving money on your trip, ditch the Christmas markets and plan a January trip.
