It’s very simple the more zones you pass through, the more expensive your journey. There are 9 fare “zones”, with Zone 1 being the most central. With 11 high-speed lines winding beneath the city connecting 270 stations, there isn’t really anywhere in London that you can’t access via the Tube. The London Underground, known by locals as ‘the Tube’, is your solution. Sometimes you need something a bit faster. A 24-hour hire costs just £2 and the first 30 minutes are completely free. Hop on one of the 11,000 bikes located across 70 docking stations and get going. You don’t need to bring your own bike for this one London has a public cycle hire scheme (called Santander Cycles, known locally as boris bikes). Every road has the luxury of a proper pavement, so navigating the London streets is safe and easy. Taking a tour of London on your own two feet is a fantastic way of seeing the city properly. It’s free, healthy, and you can go at your own pace. The city has really mastered its transport infrastructure, and it’s now a shining example for developing cities all over the world. If there’s one thing that’s easy to do in London, it’s moving around. Snow isn’t common, and when it falls it barely sets. Temperatures tend to range between 0-8☌, rarely dropping below freezing. The pubs are warm and cosy, there are fairy lights everywhere, and the Christmas shopping is world class. Winter (December to February): London does winter really well. This is London’s rainiest season, so bring a brolly (British for ‘umbrella’). Average daytime temperatures tend to be around 10-12☌. As you’d expect, the London leaves turn chestnut brown and everyone gets a bit obsessed with Halloween. However, long heatwaves of 30☌+ are not unheard of.įall (September to November): Firstly, they call it autumn over there. The weather is more consistent in summer, with temperatures averaging around 18☌ in the daytime. Summer (June to August): This is prime time for enjoying London’s fantastic parks, from the woods of Wimbledon Common to the hills of Hampstead Heath. Temperatures range from 6-12☌ at their lowest to 13-18☌ at their highest. Will you need a coat today? Nobody’s sure. Spring (March to May): The city starts to find some color again, but the weather is a bit all over the place. The London climate is a temperate one, meaning it’s rarely very extreme. We’re talking slightly milder temperatures and a little less rain – nothing major. British weather is famously uninspiring, but the capital city does have things a bit better than the rest of the country.
