What to Wear to London in the Fall

London, England makes us think of royalty, romantic palaces and afternoon tea. A unique and historic city nestled on the River Thames, London’s vibe conjures images of renaissance life blended with burgeoning technologies. It is a melting pot of nationalities and beautiful languages. In a nutshell, London cannot be defined. And with such history and culture to offer visitors and residents alike, London is a must-see for world travelers.

In addition to its cultural aesthetic, it is also important to be made aware of its rainy reputation and temperature when packing for a trip to this capital city. According to a 30-year study, it rains on average 109 days out of the year which is about 29% of the 365 calendar days. Side note: the average yearly rainfall in London is actually less than that of Miami, Orlando and NYC, respectively. With regard to temperature, London’s highs max out at around 66°F and lows average 45°F making for a fairly temperate climate. This moderate weather pattern is owed primarily to its proximity to the coast.

This average weather list was adapted from The Best Times to Visit London article by U.S. News.

What to Pack for London in the Fall

With the weather in mind, it should be a cinch to pack a wardrobe for London in the fall. Dependent on what you plan to do during your visit to London (enjoying a play at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, visiting historic pubs for a pint and some fish and chips or taking tea at the stunning Kensington Palace Pavilion), your packing plan should follow a few simple rules.

First, wear comfortable shoes. London is a big city with sights that require a good bit of walking. For example, if you plan to explore the Tower of London to see where the Crown Jewels are kept or you intend to stroll around Kensington Gardens, you will need comfortable shoes. Second, you will want to pack a lovely scarf that can be slipped in and out of a purse for cool mornings and evenings. Lastly, we recommend a packable umbrella. London can be cold and rainy, so bring an umbrella that fits into a purse or pocket. Check out this petite packable version.

Below we feature 10 pieces to help you create stylish, yet comfortable travel outfits for a fall vacation to London, England.
