I’d definitely recommend London breaks in the summertime just as much as winter breaks. The weather is rarely uncomfortably hot and the likelihood of rain is far lower than anywhere else in the UK just about. You’re a long way from the westerly wet winds but close enough to the south east coasts for some cooling effect so you don’t get continental extremes of heat and cold. London these days is well geared up for outdoor dining and strolling, with little terraces of tables and chairs springing up all over the place, and grand riverside walks such as outside the Festival Hall South Bank centre, alongside the Tate Modern and by Tower Bridge. St Katherines Dock - London Breaks St Katherine’s Dock is well known to the boating fraternity but worth a visit for lunch or an summer evening meal alongside the water basin full of yachts and barges, with a good selection of cafes and restaurants to choose from. You can also catch the Thames Circular Tours boats from the pier by St Katherine;s Dock and Tower Bridge if you want to enjoy a leisurely cruise or simple take advantage of the best form of transport for visiting Westminster or Greenwich. But don’t forget the special ingredient for London breaks at any time of year – the show!
