I think October is the best time to come. It’s usually quite warm, although there may be some rain, and it might be a bit cold in the evening, so bring a sweater. Best of all, there won’t be so many tourists. Make sure you bring an umbrella. You may like to stay in a bed and breakfast, which is a private house with a best guest bedroom. You won’t have to pay much for this type of accommodation. When you arrive in London, you may like to buy a rail card to travel around the rest of the country. I hope this is useful.
