I actually think London gets a bad rep for its weather. It is certainly not as good as Stockholm, but not as bad as its reputation.

London gets a terrible rep. I come from Wales and the difference in the weather is quite dramatic. Back home in Wales, it probably rains 150 more days than it does in London. I have a leather trench that kept me warm in the winters in Wales, it now has me boiling during London winters.

Yes i agree London can get pretty grey, but it's nowhere near as miserable as people make out.

Dude, don't tell anyone! The real estate pressure is bad enough already!

People who complain about it have never lived in miserable weather. From what i've experienced, its actually rather nice and varied. Live up north, or even further up both then you'll get to experience miserable weather.

London is in one of the drier, sunnier and warmest parts of the UK:
