FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in London in March?
Yes — with roughly 11 rainy days in the month, waterproof or water-resistant shoes are a strong bet.
Do I need boots in London in March?
A light boot is worth it for evenings, when temps drop to about 39°F. A sturdy sneaker also works.
Can I wear sandals in London in March?
Not really — highs around 52°F are too cool for open shoes on most days.
Can I get by with one pair of shoes in London in March?
Two pairs is safer — wet cold months punish a single pair. Pack a weather-ready primary and a dry backup.
What about dressy dinners in London?
Most cities accept clean sneakers or light boots for smart-casual dinners. If you have a black-tie night, pack one dress shoe and wear your walking pair on the plane.
Any tips for packing shoes for London?
Wear the bulkiest pair on the plane, stuff socks into the packed pair, and use a shoe bag so damp soles do not ruin clothes. Pack a thin spare pair of socks for rainy days.
