Looking for cheap flights to London from Canada? Globehunters can help.
They say if you’re tired of London, you’re tired of life and we think that’s absolutely right! London, the busy, vibrant, multi-cultured capital city of the UK, offers an eclectic mix of entertainment, shows, cuisine, culture and shopping which all add up to one amazing vacation.
Tradition and history are never far away in this densely packed city and it really is where new meets old. Tourists come from all over the world to stop by Buckingham Palace for a hopeful glimpse of royalty, and to enjoy the fantastic West End shows and swanky shops. While you’re here, don’t forget to enjoy a good cup of English Breakfast and afternoon tea of scones and mini sandwiches. Later on you can chill out in a pub or street café or walk around the numerous stunning city parks you’ll find dotted around the place.
The busiest season for tourist numbers is between April and September when the weather is mild and there’s a good chance of some sun. It then gets busy again around Christmas with lots of shoppers and people coming to enjoy the festive light displays. Late spring is the best time to see the Royal Parks and gardens just as they’re coming into bloom and is great for people who don’t want to risk the possible heat of summer. The fantastic concrete skyline of this city often means it can be several degrees warmer in central London than over the rest of the country, and the underground can be very hot and busy. So if you’re coming with young children or older relatives, autumn and spring weather is most likely to suit.
Have the bright lights of London always been in your dreams? Perhaps you’ve just never got around to going until now? Don’t wait a moment longer! Take a look at our full range of flights today, including first class flights and business class flights too.
