What to Pack for London in November
Plan a November London packing list around cool weather, possible rain and lots of walking.
Think cool, damp and changeable
November can bring chilly mornings, wind and rain. The precise conditions vary, so use an up-to-date forecast rather than relying on a single typical temperature.
A reliable layering system
Pack long-sleeve tops, sweaters, a warm jacket or coat, trousers and comfortable closed shoes. If you tend to feel cold, consider an extra insulating layer for evenings outdoors.
Rain protection without overpacking
A water-resistant outer layer and shoes that cope with wet pavements make sightseeing easier. A compact umbrella may be convenient, but strong wind can make a hood more practical.
Match clothes to your itinerary
Theatre evenings and restaurant reservations may call for one smarter outfit. Otherwise, prioritize walking comfort, breathable layers indoors and warmth when waiting outside.
A practical London packing checklist
Plan for outdoor walking, public transport and warm indoor spaces.
- Comfortable trousers or jeans and tops you can layer
- A sweater or fleece for cooler parts of the day
- A rain-resistant jacket or coat, chosen for the actual forecast
- Comfortable shoes with some water resistance if rain is expected
- A compact umbrella if you find it useful
- A small day bag for an extra layer and essentials
For a full day out
Wear layers you can take off on public transport or in museums. If you expect to spend hours outside, prioritize a protective outer layer and comfortable shoes over extra dressy outfits. Check the forecast again before leaving.
