England has a temperate maritime climate, in which temperatures are mild and weather is changeable. In winter, temperatures rarely fall below zero, while summer temperatures rarely climb past 90 degrees. Rainfall is plentiful, mostly during autumn and winter although the Great British Summer has a reputation for being a washout due to rain. The driest months are May, June, September and October.

Peak Season:  Summer is traditionally the high season, however, it varies by destination. The school holidays have a great bearing on prices too. Prices will rise for hotel accommodations and travel in July and August, October (half-term), Christmas and New Year, February (Valentine’s Day and half-term), Easter, and May (half-term). London doesn’t have an off-season, except for a couple of weeks post-Christmas and New Year’s Day. Elsewhere, in popular destinations such as the Lake District, Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath or York, the summer months are high season. Peak Season Southend: Southend’s coastal location makes July and August the best times to visit for beach activities, however, visitors will find accommodations more expensive at this peak time of the year. The town likes to welcome its visitors all year round with a busy calendar of events. The annual London to Southend Classic Car Rally takes place in July. For people who prefer motorbikes or planes, the Ace Cafe Shakedown takes place in April and the Festival of the Air every May. Annual cultural events include the Southend-on-Sea Film Festival in April and the Leigh Folk Festival which takes place in June. There is even an annual Puppet Festival in August, with several Mr. Punch shows competing. Off Season:  The winter is, in general, the low season. Some tourist attractions (stately homes for example) are mothballed for the winter months. The early months of the year, January to early March, are traditionally the least popular with tourists, so you may find better rates for flights and accommodation during this time.

If you’re flying out from New York to get to London, the most common destination in England, you can expect a nonstop flight to take about seven hours. Add an extra hour to that if you’re flying out of Chicago, an extra 2.5 hours to fly out of Houston, and an extra 3.5 hours if your starting point is Los Angeles.

You can fly nonstop from the United States into Manchester and Birmingham, but chances are, if you’re flying to England, you’re going to land in London. London’s two main airports are Heathrow and Gatwick. Heathrow is a hub for the world, so almost every international airline has flights into it. From the United States, check out flights from Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, Air New Zealand, Delta and Air India. Most of these airlines also offer flights into Gatwick, which is a smaller airport. What should you pack for a flight to England? All the beautiful green scenery in England is a result of the rain that falls year round — so make sure you bring an umbrella and a light jacket. In winter, you may need warmer clothing, as it does snow in England. Don’t forget to bring adapters for all your electrical devices, as English outlets take different-shaped plugs, and make sure your devices can be used with 240-volt electricity, or pack a converter. Comfortable shoes are a must, as you can expect to do a lot of walking.

London’s museums are also noteworthy, whether you opt for the British Museum with its sweeping tour through the history of the world or head to the Victoria and Albert Museum to view intricate displays of clothing and furniture from the past. To make your London visit complete, queue up for the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, then head to the food halls at Harrods, one of the greatest department stores in the world, to pick up a takeaway lunch to enjoy in one of London’s famous parks.
