1. What's the UK weather like?
London has a temperate oceanic climate, with mild winters and generally cool summers — although occasional heatwaves do occur. In recent years, temperatures have been relatively moderate. In early June, the weather is similar to springtime in many parts of China, with daytime temperatures usually below 20°C.
Rain is frequent throughout the year, typically light to moderate rather than heavy downpours. Visitors are advised to check the forecast regularly and carry an umbrella or light raincoat when exploring the city.
2. Is London safe?
Generally, more affluent areas tend to be safer, but phone theft can occur anywhere, especially in busy city centres. Avoid using your phone while walking near the roadside, as thieves on bicycles or scooters may attempt to snatch it and quickly escape.
Also, women offering free flowers will ask you to pay; men wearing special costumes asking to take photos with you ask you for paper notes afterwards. In crowded areas such as Oxford Street, remain aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings secure, as distraction techniques may be used to target bags or pockets.
3. What are the good universities in London?
In addition to the famous Oxford and Cambridge, there are many top-ranked universities in London, such as the London School of Economics, Imperial College London, UCL, etc.
