What to Wear in London in Spring (+ Packing List!)
I live in Wakefield, in the north of England, and visit London for work about once a month. As such, I visit London in the spring a lot. In fact, it’s my favourite time to visit.
However, visiting London in the spring can be hard as the weather can change a lot, both daily and during the day. You can wake up one morning with beautiful sunshine, but it could be pouring rain by lunch.
That said, if I was planning a trip to London in the springtime, here’s what I’d pack.
