THE BEST PERIODS TO SLEEP IN LONDON
Generally the most expensive months in the city, are May, June, July and the Christmas period from Boxing Day (Santo Stefano) to the Epiphany.

Very beautiful also May and June. With the days getting longer, you can take advantage of the many outdoor activities that London can offer.
