March in detail

What March actually feels like

Weather: 4–11°C; Mild but unsettled; clocks go forward late in the month
Crowds: Low-Moderate; Visitor numbers rising slowly ahead of the Easter break

+Longer days and the first signs of spring make London feel noticeably more alive.

–Weather remains changeable.

My tip for March

Keep plans flexible — a wet day is common, and everything worth doing has an indoor alternative.

How March compares

5th of 12 overall in London, 8th for weather, 4th for space, 4th for value. The emptiest month is January; the best value is January.

Plan around

Easter and school holidays: Easter moves each year and pulls family crowds and rates up with it; February and October half-terms do the same for a single week.

Not set on March?

Mild weather, long evenings, parks in bloom and major events arrive before summer peak.

Spring parks, longer evenings and a strong cultural calendar.
