Activities

What to do near London holiday homes

London's sprawling layout can make it confusing for visitors, so consider a cruise down the Thames or a ride on a famous double-decker bus for a hop-on, hop-off tour of the city's top sites. Between the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, Big Ben's chimes and the shopping on Regent Street, you'll have the lay of the land in no time. London is also known for its vast array of in-demand cultural attractions, from concerts at the Royal Albert Hall to shows on the West End, so consider booking tickets before your trip.

Weather

Local weather for your stay in London holiday homes

London is known for its grey and rainy weather, but with a bit of planning, you might just get to experience British weather at its best. You should most definitely pack an umbrella, wellies and a raincoat no matter when you visit, but you're more likely to find long, sunny days waiting for you from early summer through early autumn. Understandably, June through September is also peak season, when crowds are thicker and prices are higher. Autumn and winter are wet and chilly, with shorter, darker days, but you're also more likely to find London vacation rentals going for lower prices.

Natural highlights

Wide open spaces aren't just a myth in London Town

With the River Thames winding through the heart of London, you'll find everything from waterfront markets to expansive green spaces scattered throughout the city. Stroll with the locals and their pups in Hyde, Holland and Regent's parks, or head south of the river to visit Battersea Park, Kew Gardens and catch a glimpse the famous deer that roam through Richmond Park. If the weather is truly cooperating and a day by the sea is in the cards, hop on the train and find yourself on the pebbled shores of Brighton and the English Channel in just over an hour.
