Things to Do in London in September

There are a few advantages to planning things to do in London in September. If you are interested in visiting attractions, they are a lot less crowded! That’s because it’s back to school season for everyone. Additionally, the temperatures are generally cooler than the summer months. And- you still have some lingering evening sunlight. Daylight tends to last until around 7pm for the month.

These factors make it a fantastic month to visit London.

I’ve put together a huge list of great events for you below. They cover a wide range of activities and are for both people visiting London and those who live in London. Don’t forget to check out the monthly discount codes available for Sunny in London readers below.
