    1. London in December<\/b><\/h2>\n

    December is a wonderful time to enjoy England\u2019s liveliest winter wonderland. \u2744\ufe0f Iconic landmarks like the Tower of London, Trafalgar Square and the London Eye are stunners no matter the season, and December is no different. \ud83d\udc4d<\/span><\/p>\n

    Early December is a quieter time to visit London, meaning fewer crowds and lower prices on travel-related expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We\u2019re big fans of promoting dressing in layers \u2013 and layers and London go hand in hand! \ud83e\udde4 Sunny afternoon skies and afternoon temperatures can be mild and pleasant, but chilly temps and rain should be expected and planned for; average daytime temperatures hover around 48\u00b0F (9\u00b0C). Remember that temperatures can drop below freezing and snow is possible\u2026 which is totally great, remember? <\/span>We\u2019re aiming for holiday romantic comedy weather! <\/span><\/em>\u2615\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
