Weather in the UK is notoriously difficult to predict; and if it is a clear-cut climate you are searching for, England is far from ideal. No matter what season, you should really learn to expect the unexpected in the UK. However, it can be said that the majority of the days in summer are warm - still, evenings can be cool. Winter allows for approximately 7-8 hours of daylight, and a great deal of snow.
If it is sun you wish to soak up, you should categorically avoid London between November and February. On the other hand, between April to September is ideal, as the weather is most likely to be at its most warm. July and August, whilst often warm months, are also the most overcrowded, as the peak season for tourists to travel to London.
Sports fans tend to overrun the UK between May and July, when the FA Soccer and the Wimbledon tennis Championships take place. This year, of course, there are expected to be a record number of visitors to London when the Olympics happen in July and August. If you wish to be a part of this world famed event, you should visit London at this time.
Truly, it is very difficult to not get swept up in the exhilaration and anticipation prior to London's 2012 Olympics, particularly if you are a dweller in the capital. Even if you are not a sports enthusiast, you cannot argue against the amazing aptitude of the athletes. One thing is for sure: you will not be able to break away from from the contagious zeal for the Games that has even now begun to make itself felt in London, and will, soon enough, utterly overtake the capital.
It is believed that 205 nations will take part in 300 events at the 2012 Olympics. An anticipated worldwide audience of 4 billion people is anticipated to watch the opening ceremony on July 27, 2012.
Greenwich Park will be the venue for many events during the Olympics, such as modern pentathlons, equestrian sports and shooting, in addition to basketball, trampolining and artistic gymnastics.
Greenwich is also well worth visiting in 2012 as it will be granted with Royal Borough status during the Queen's illustrious Diamond Jubilee. This emblematic privilege is to be bestowed in acknowledgment of the close ties that have always subsisted between this charming area and the monarchy. Perhaps visit Greenwich following a sweeping London open top bus tour, and become acquainted with the allure of the capital.
Whenever you choose to explore London, whichever season you decide to visit, you will be enchanted by the capital. However, if you wish to experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the Olympics in London, then it will be best for you to visit at this time. Or perhaps you wish to marvel at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, another rare occasion? Take an England tour you will not forget; focus your tour on the distinguished capital that is London.
