It’s beginning to sink in that I’ll be in London in a matter of weeks. Planning is going ahead at full steam here at Anglotopia central.
I could not put into words how excited I am about this trip – then I read this recent blog post by Stephen Fry and he really has a way with words.
From his blog here:
I walked into town this morning, four and a half miles gently downhill into the bowl of London, the chalk basin where Soho, Mayfair, Bloomsbury, Marylebone and divers other of the villages that constitute the West End have their jostling, bumptious beings.
There’s that thing in the air. That thing. That thing that goes with the first yellowing of the leaf, the hint of chill in the air, the extra urgency of bicycles and the bright blue brand new George of Asda V-necks worn by schoolchildren on the pavements starting the new school year. That thing that stings the nostrils and fills the brain with an equal measure of dread and delight.
London in the Fall is going to be amazing and I can’t wait to be there.
I just hope it’s not too bloody cold!

Anglotopia was founded by Jonathan and Jackie Thomas for people who love Britain - whether it's British TV, Culture, History or Travel - we cover it all. Anglotopia was started to get us back to the UK for a trip and it did that in 2009. Now, the goal is for Anglotopia to make our dreams of traveling to the UK whenever we want a reality.
You and me both hope it’s not too bloody cold!
As an American who lives in London and who has lived in Boston & DC, I can tell you that autumn in London is never THAT cold…it’s cold for people from really warm climates, but it is usually extremely pleasant…maybe sweater weather, but that’s what fall is all about. Enjoy your visit!
As a true Brit, I do hope you enjoy your trip. The weather shouldn’t be too cold and if it gets a little bit chilly, well that’s just a good excuse to snuggle into a cosy tweed jacket in the British style, isn’t it?
