Honestly not a great month for outdoor sightseeing, but excellent for theatre, museums and the kind of rainy afternoon in a pub that London does better than anywhere else. Prices are low. Guy Fawkes Night on November 5th fills the city with fireworks. The Christmas lights on Oxford Street and Regent Street switch on in late November.
Warm coat, scarf, waterproof shoes. Prioritise indoor activities.
