We don't know. Please look into Climate Change - the biggest problem facing the world, according to some.

It's rained in England for the last 4 months. Last summer, it didn't rain at all. Typical weather is grey, cold and damp. Umbrellas and scarfs are available for sale in shops as are other items.

All of the above, always in the UK, even in summer.
E.g. June 1975 Buxton, Derbyshire - cricket match abandoned due to snow.

Christmas in London will be dark, probably somewhere between 8-15C and may be raining. There won't be snow.
#2. Buxton is the coldest place in England so snow there is quite normal.

Not in June it isn't.
Rickmansworth is the frostiest place in England.

I'd say bring lots of layers and something waterproof (or a big brolly) if you are doing touristy things then you'll be going in and out of places which may have heating so you need to be able to take off a layer once you've entered the pub/museum!

As the above posters say its likely to be dark and damp!

#4 "...in London....There won't be snow" - How do you KNOW? I thought we had a bit last Christmas.

I suggest that you bring everything

due to the fact it is british weather and is very unpredictable, for example it has been raining for the past few months, which is supposed to be summer

be prepared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unlikely to be as warm as 8-15C. More like 2-8C. It's not even hit 15C some days this summer.
