Planning a trip to England....

We were in Edinburgh last September (around 11-17) and then in London for the following week. Had unbelievably beautiful weather-sunny and low 60s most days. Didn’t expect that!

Stayed at The Fraser Suites in Edinburgh and Rubens at the Palace in London -not Marriott but excellent choices.

Used black cabs and water taxis and HOHO buses for transportation. Took 2 tours in each city

Both friendly places -can’t wait to go back!!

So would the first week of September more likely have better weather than October and likely have less crowds than the summer?

Yes.

If you are including Paris in this trip, as you originally stated that you wanted possibly to include France into your itinerary, you should know that or hotels and restaurants, September is the busiest month of the year. Alternatively, August is relatively a slow month in Paris with many hotels offering incentives to attract clientel.

Hotel reservations for Paris in September should be made as early as possible.

L have had really good results with airbnb in the UK. We look for private apartments or homes. In London you will probably find apartments and condos but there are are lot of private accommodations in towns a villages in Scotland which is how we like to go. We were in Edinburgh for the tattoo and had an apartment overlooking the castle entrance.
