London
A river with two thousand years of the city's history stacked along its banks, a changing of the guard that still draws a crowd, and a theatre scene that makes a rainy evening the plan rather than the backup.
The best time to visit London is Apr–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (72°F). Local time there is 22:36 (UTC+1).
