Like most European nations, England also has four seasons. These seasons are summer, spring, autumn and monsoon.
However, not all seasons are favourable times for tourists. Following is a list of the best seasons to visit England.

As the winter recedes, snow starts to melt, and new leaves appear on trees marking the arrival of spring. You may witness warm, sunny, cool or rainy weather on any given day during these months. Like summers, spring attracts crowds from all over the globe to the famous places to visit in England.
With new leaves, blooming flowers and melodious nightingales, spring is the second best season to visit London.
Following are a few activities to indulge in while your spring visit to London.
With the departure of summer and large crowds from September, leaves turn orange as autumn arrives. While September is warm, like summer, the temperature starts dropping in October. The autumn sky is as unpredictable as most of the winter. We recommend you carry raincoats or an umbrella while visiting London, as it often rains during this season.
Here are a few activities and places to visit in London to make your holiday memorable:
Winters in England mean rain and chilly weather. The sun sets by 4 PM, and thus, there are fewer hours of daylight throughout the winter. The wet, dark and cold weather can be pretty frustrating. Therefore, visiting the UK during winter can be a mood spoiler, especially if attractions are closed.
The months of December and January have frequent snowfall, thus making most hilly areas inaccessible in winter. As a result, England's countryside sees much harsher weather conditions than its urban counterparts in London.
In addition to bad weather conditions, accessible tourist places are flooded with tourists making this place as chaotic as summer. Moreover, tour package prices to London are also sky-high. Therefore, make winter a season to avoid if you plan a London tour.
As late spring and summer set in, the streets of London are flocked with tourists. Like most European countries, summers in England are pretty pleasant. Royal parks are popular tourist places in England as they bloom with beautiful flowers. Thus, the summer seasons are the peak time to visit London and nearby places.
However, securing a convenient tour package becomes an as tough job as most London tour packages are expensive during this time. Moreover, finding a quiet corner in parks is also problematic as the city gets chaotic.
Therefore, to avoid all the hustle and bustle of summer, you can opt for the autumn months to visit London from India. Tourists leave for their homes at the end of summer, and tour prices tend to fall. The trees all over England change to orange, proving a splendid landscape. Also, the weather starts getting colder as London prepares to welcome winter.
During autumn, tourist spots in London are less crowded, and the countryside sides are even quieter than its predecessor seasons. So autumn is the best season to find solace in this city and a pocket-friendly trip.
