We asked locals if they prefer summer or winter in the capital and the answer was pretty emphatic.

00:00 Do you think London is a winter city or do you think it's better in the summer?
00:05 I think every city's better in the summer. A winter city has got to be somewhere further
00:11 south I suppose. But there's so much happening indoors, so with theatre and music and cinemas
00:21 and restaurants. Yeah, and the transport system's pretty good, so it's not bad as a winter city.
00:29 But yeah, I think, look, it's dark nearly and it's only three o'clock.
00:35 Well, the thing is I like the summer more than I like the winter. I don't really like
00:38 the cold that much to be honest. I'd say it's a summer city personally. Yeah, that's how
00:45 I'd rather it be anyway.
00:49 Everybody prefers London in the summer. It's only good for tourists in the city, you know,
00:53 in the city centre, uptown. Do you know what I mean? It's not really any good out of town.
00:58 And everything's so expensive and they make it very expensive for the citizens of London
01:04 to enjoy London, other than we get some Christmas lights which nobody can afford the fare to
01:09 go into London to see. And as for New Year and charging the London population to see
01:15 the Christmas, you know, fireworks and everything, New Year, disgusting.
01:21 I would say summer, definitely.
01:24 Do you like it in the winter or are you just...
01:29 It's cold, cold and wet. So summer's better.
01:34 I think definitely like during the summer it's nice, like Camden is really nice. There's
01:38 so many things to do but like during winter I guess the aesthetic is nice, the Christmas
01:43 lights, Winter Wonderland. But I prefer it in summer I think.
