Holidace insight

March is London starting to wake up. The parks are greening and prices are still very reasonable.

March and April see the lowest rainfall of the year, which surprises many visitors. The city begins to feel alive again: parks fill on sunny afternoons, outdoor markets return, and the cultural calendar picks up. Prices are rising from winter lows but have not hit the summer premium yet. A very sensible time to visit.
