Grey, cold, cheapest flights
Actually. London's 'good weather' is relative. June–August is less grey. The museums are free year-round — the flights are what fluctuate.

Culture
London Etiquette
Do
Stand on the right side of escalators — the left side is for walking; this is sacred in the Tube
Queue properly for everything; cutting the line is considered deeply offensive
Say 'sorry' liberally — Brits use it as a social lubricant, even when it's not your fault
Tap your Oyster card or contactless on buses; cash is no longer accepted on London buses
Visit pubs for an authentic experience — order at the bar, don't wait to be seated
Don't
Don't talk loudly on the Tube — Londoners treat public transport as quiet, personal space
Don't block the pavement or stop suddenly on busy streets; keep pace with foot traffic
Don't tip at pubs when ordering at the bar — it's not expected and can seem odd
Don't call the United Kingdom 'England' — Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are distinct nations
Don't stare at people or make prolonged eye contact with strangers on public transport

Hidden Gem
GEM 55Rarity Score
Leadenhall Market
“A Victorian jewel hiding in the City's shadow”
This ornate covered market dates back to the 14th century but its current stunning Victorian ironwork structure was built in 1881. While millions visit nearby Tower of London, Leadenhall sits half-empty on weekends. Film fans will recognise it as the entrance to Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. On weekday lunchtimes it buzzes with City workers; visit Saturday mornings for photos without the crowds.
Locals Say
“Duck into the Lamb Tavern (inside the market) for a proper pint in one of London's oldest pubs, then walk 2 minutes to Sky Garden for free panoramic views — book the free slot online in advance.”
0.5 km from Bank station (City of London) away
Best: Saturday morning for photography; weekday lunch for atmosphere
