When is the best time to visit London?
The best times to visit London are late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September), when temperatures range from 15–23°C and parks bloom. July–August is warmer and busier, with festival energy but higher prices. Winters are milder than you’d expect (5–10°C), but daylight hours are short.

Is the Go City London Pass worth it?
The Go City London Pass is worth it if you plan to do two or more paid attractions daily. It bundles top sights like The Shard, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and London Zoo for one price. For slower-paced trips, buying individual tickets for your must-sees may be cheaper.
