Yes it seldom snows in London but winters can be so dreary and grey. But I love London. My favourite time to visit London is in Summer.

We are going to London in mid November and hope that it wouldn't be too cold just yet.. ..

Keen to visit Legoland in Windsor..wonder if it is worth the while..

and in summer when you travel using the tube, it is not air-cond.....very stuffy and sweaty ..

dh said it was cold when i spoke to him yesterday. might get colder soon.


it snowed when we were in london last year and the year before. i remember quite a no. of schools were closed cos of heavy snowfall. also it was fine in the am but it suddenly started snowing in late am and parents had to rush to pick kids up from schools including me. we had to wear snow boots to keep warm/dry and from slipping on the pavements. but think nov should still be okay.

legoland is fun if you have young kids and love lego models. otherwise, my kids and i find the whole place boring including the rides. if you plan to visit legoland, should stay in windsor for at least a day or two.

Last year I was in London till Nov 25, no snow, but chilly…the park outside Buckingham Palace, near Mayfair, was nice


this year could be different

IMHO, this year will be another blanket of snow winter for UK and most of Europe
