London in April, especially around Easter, is it actually a good time to visit?
I’ve been looking into London for a spring trip and April keeps coming up as a nice middle ground. Not too crowded like summer, but still lively, especially with Easter and events around that time.
From what I’ve seen, there are things like the Good Friday performance in Trafalgar Square, small street events around Covent Garden, and later in the month the London Marathon, so it feels like there’s always something happening without it being overwhelming.
At the same time, I’ve also read that transport can be a bit tricky over the Easter weekend, so I’m not sure how much that affects the overall experience.
For those who’ve been in April, especially around Easter, did it feel like a good balance or was it still too busy or inconvenient?

Maybe she'll prove us wrong and come back to this - or any of her other threads - and convince us they are legit queries. But some of the questions definitely sound like researching for a blog with little or no knowledge of the topics/locations
