Art lovers are also spoilt for choice with many leading art galleries including the National Gallery, The Tate, the Tate Modern and the Saatchi Gallery, all holding exhibitions throughout the year.
You could stay in London for a year and still not see everything there is to see. But most people prefer a shorter break which affords them more time to experience the range of activities available. Three to four days is the ideal time to take in a handful of attractions.
The best time to come is between April and September. Temperatures during these months range between 6ºC - 20ºC. The month of May is one of the best months to visit because you will avoid the main crowds of Summer while still enjoying temperatures between 10ºC - 18ºC. But remember, this is England, so rain is possible at all times of the year.
