Wherever you are, the cold seeps up through the soles of your feet. Wear shoes with thick bottoms. |

| Oh, you are the one who wants to emigrate to England. That's very different. I'd skip a lot of the tourist stuff and spend time exploring neighborhoods. Depending on your budget maybe go to Richmond, Wimbledon, etc. If you are looking at higher end then Belgravia, Chelsea, Hampstead. |

This is true of pretty much every country other than the US. Heat or cold seeps through regardless of temperature control. Nothing beats the US in this regard. |

I always have to laugh at people who complain that DC winters are misery- they clearly have never lived in the northern latitudes. I spent many winters in upstate NY, Canada, and north-central Europe. DC winters are mild in comparison and you actually get some sun!! |

I’m in London every month for two weeks, it’s literally warmer than it is in DC typically even in the dead of February and I never have to deal with ice storms. It feels no darker than DC. It feels no more grey than DC. |

The Imperial War Museum (main building) is awesome. Redone in the past maybe 6 years and just really thoughtfully curated.
I didn't love the Churchill War Rooms as much as some others did. Interesting to consider what they went through certainly, but way too much on the audiotour. London in January - won't be crowded! |

How often are you in DC? Judging by that response, almost never. The weather is not “the exact same” - no fair minded person would say that. |
