Out into the West End evening
The West End in late July is typically warm and pleasant — comfortable for walking between the Garrick and Covent Garden (it's only about 10 minutes on foot). The main wildcard is the occasional thundery shower that can develop on warm afternoons, so worth having a light layer or compact umbrella. Evening temperatures tend to stay mild, around 18–20°C.
- High: 23–26°C (73–79°F), occasionally nudging 28–30°C in a warm spell
- Overnight low: 14–16°C
- Sunshine: Long days, ~7–8 hours on average
