Rough Guides City Stories: London Seasons

Discover London Through the Seasons - and See the City You Thought You Knew.

London is never the same city twice. Rough Guides City Stories: London Seasons reveals its changing moods - from blossom-lined streets in spring to firelit pubs in winter, golden summer parks, and quiet backstreets glowing after autumn rain.

Follow London month by month, through hidden gardens, secret festivals, and unexpected rituals that make the capital come alive in every season.

Written by local experts and beautifully photographed, this isn't a list of sights - it's a love letter to London's many faces. Inside, you'll find:

Spring: Wisteria-lined mews, cherry-blossom walks, and local traditions marking the start of the season.
Summer: Rooftop cinemas, canal swims, and the golden calm of London's "fifth season" - late summer.
Autumn: Markets, bonfire nights, and the secret courtyards that turn copper and crimson.
Winter: Hidden cosy corners, festive haunts, and stories that warm the coldest day.
