White City is nestled within London's bustling Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, just 5 miles west-northwest of Charing Cross. This lively district traces its origin back to when the area was open farmland, before becoming the 'Great White City' of various international exhibitions in the early 20th century. The city was aptly named for its stunning white marble-clad exhibition pavilions, a tribute to a bygone era of grandeur.

While White City underwent significant urban transformation in the 1930s with the introduction of budget apartment blocks, it effortlessly retained its charm, echoing its illustrious past. Later in the 1900s, it took the vibrant sports scene to heart – housing a historic stadium, venues for World Championships, and even hosting the 1966 World Cup match. Now, blending past wonders with contemporary marvels like the expanded Westfield London and BBC Television Centre's reinvention, White City welcomes the new while honouring the old.

When to visit White City

If you're planning to include White City in your travel itinerary, be sure to time your journey for maximum enjoyment. The capital city of London is in full bloom between May and June or during the mesmerising autumn months of September and October. These periods are perfect for a family outing or, for that matter, any visitor eager to explore the numerous attractions without battling larger tourist crowds.

Despite July, August and December being the peak tourist season, there's a certain charm to experiencing White City's Christmas lights or the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland festivities if you don't mind the bustle. For travellers on a budget, the cooler winter months provide plenty of indoor attractions and activities, ensuring a trip to remember, no matter the season.
