…..Yeah. About that.
I was blessed with the most GORGEOUS weather while I was in London. After studying abroad for 5 months in London, I knew how crappy the weather can be. Gloom, gloom, rain, more gloom, rain, cloudy skies (especially during the fall/winter). Now, I don’t mind London in the rain, as it adds a bit of charm to the city, but being an LA girl, I definitely appreciated the sunlight.
It was still freezing (compared to the 80 degree temps I left in LA), but the sun took a bit of the chill off. Johnny and I rented an apartment by Kensington Gardens, so most of our walks through the city involved going through there and Hyde Park. The fall colors with the bright blue sky were just unbelievable.
It didn’t rain the entire week we were in London. I know, I’m still in shock too, especially because it’s fall. The travel gods were looking down on me, I know it. It definitely made the travel transition a bit easier. And even though the sun sets crazy early in London (like 3:30pm), Johnny and I still enjoyed every minute.

That is incredible….Sadly my time in London has always been the same…grey.
Boo! but you know what that means, you have to go back!
I just read in the paper today that London is en route to having a drought because there’s been barely any rain!!!
i was just scrolling down to say that it must be an especially dry fall, because hubs & i were there in october and it didn’t rain much either! it was a little cloudy and sprinkled the one day, but for the most part, our days looked like the above. isn’t it the best when you luck out weather-wise on vacation? xo! the romantic
having good weather during a trip = the best. I couldn’t have asked for better weather!
REALLY?!?!?! that’s crazy! have you not had rain yet?
Your photos are gorgeous!! I’m so glad you had excellent weather – that sunshine makes the whole experience so much more fun that getting soaked in the rain
thank you darling! I hate rain, sadly, so I’m really glad I had nice weather. Now, Paris on the other hand….LOL.
Looks Beautiful I am looking forward to traveling myself going into 2012!!
Awesome! Will you be in London for the olympics?
Wow, I can’t remember the last time I saw London looking so cloud-free!!
OMG, yeah, when I went to London in August for a week it only rained one day. Not only that, but it was RIDICULOUSLY HOT!!! I was like, where’s this weather I always hear about in London?? So I was kind of excited the one day it rained because I was like, hey! this is the london i hear about!
Glad you were blessed with such good weather!
I’m crossing my fingers we get your same good luck when we’re there in a couple weeks!
Oneika said something about a drought, so I’m crossing my fingers you’ll have awesome weather too!
I had great weather when I was there for Thanksgiving week! I absolutely fell in love and can’t wait to return. Thanks for sharing those wonderful pictures!
I have been to London 4 times and every time it has been grey, cloudy and rainy.
Its funny. The only times I’ve been to London its been gorgeous sunny weather. I would love to experience a couple of pouring rain days at some point…just to say I know a little bit about REAL London!
LOL! That’s hilarious! Now you have to go back
You are SO lucky. I was there two weeks before you arrived and it was frigging FREEEEEZING the whole time. The sun was definitely smiling at you and your adventures.
