Averages for London in July

July is the height of the summer season in London, with warm temperatures and busy crowds.

Daytime temperatures now reach a pleasant high of 22°C (72°F) and only fall to around 13°C (55°F) in the evenings.

There are 8 hours of sunshine each day so you can head out and explore the city in warm sunshine! Keep in mind of course that the risk of rain is ever present so it is a good idea to keep an umbrella handy while out and about.

July sees Buckingham Palace open for the summer months, and this is an extremely popular attraction as it is the official residence of the Queen. Here you can explore the grand State rooms and see a wide array of beautiful artworks and furnishings.

Nearby you can explore London’s parks, such as Green Park and Hyde Park, which are in full bloom.

For something cultural you can head to the Tate Modern, which houses many exhibits of modern art from the previous century right up to the present day.

And for something to keep both children and adults entertained, the Science museum and Natural History museum provide both education and fun!

Accommodation is at a premium during the summer months in London, but if you are prepared to stay outside the city centre there is some excellent budget accommodation available.

The Comfort Hotel in Harrow offers a double room for seven nights from £413 and is just 12 miles from Heathrow Airport. Central London is 20 minutes by train, and on site there is the Seasons Brasserie and Lounge Bar to enjoy.
