You do know Bournemouth isn't in Hampshire right? Funny how all these "new members" are cropping up from the UK or claiming to previously come from the UK...
I live in Hampshire, but I'm near Bournemouth at the moment...
I gave London an E. There is about 400 less sunshine hours annually than here on the South Coast of England which means London is a grade lower than here. With experience of this English Climate the weather is to changeable and seasons aren't always where they're supposed to be. For example, here in Bournemouth these last two days we have had weather more comparable to mid October, with a storm yesterday morning and a sunny afternoon, today it was mostly sunny but with a consistently strong wind (good for the surf/wind surf though)!
To make London an A* climate it would have to look like this:
Jan: 21C (69.8F)--8C (46.4F)--3.2"--201 hrs
Feb: 20C (68F)--7C(44.6--2.6"--206 hrs
Mar: 22C (71.6F)--9C (48.2F)--2.6"--234 hrs
Apr: 24C (75.2F)--12C (53.6F)--2.7"--288 hrs
May: 26C (78.8F)--15C (59F)--1.9"--327 hrs
Jun: 28C (82.4F)--18C (64.4F)--1.8"--346 hrs
Jul: 30C (86F)--21C (69.8F)--1.8"--357 hrs
Aug: 33C (91.4F)--23C (73.4F)--1.9"--333 hrs
Sep: 29C (84.2F)--19C (66.2F)--1.9"--308 hrs
Oct: 27C (80.6F)--15C (59F)--2.1"--286 hrs
Nov: 24C (75.2F)--10C (50F)--3.3"--242 hrs
Dec: 22C (71.6F)--9C (48.2F)--3.2"--212 hrs
Warm to hot days, cool to warm nights. High sunshine and steady rainfall all year round. London would still have a decent amount of rain to keep everything green. The average record high each year is 34C (93.2F), record average low is 6C (42.8).
Highest ever record: 46C (114.8F)
Lowest ever record: 5C (41F)
Is there even a place in the world with this kind of climate?
I agree that the new climate you created would be awesome.. but really that is the same for most climates in the world.
London gets around 1600 hours of sun a year, whilst the sunniest spots on the south coast reach almost 2000 hours.. but that is only some areas. I'd take the warmer days over a bit of extra sunshine that would not be that noticeable
I was surprised at how decent the weather is. The post for northern Scotland sounded far more grim. Highs in the 70s in summer was better than I expected for London. Why that sounds very similar to Seattle, which is great in summer. If it was the Pacific Northwest, people would cheer for it, but as the old world city of Dickens, it gets no respect. Too cloudy and dank for my tastes, especially in winter, but there seems like no reason one could not carve out a decent life in such a climate. The summers, in particular, sound quite pleasant.

It is similar to Seattle, except that Seattle has a more Mediterranean style of precipitation and sunshine. The downside are the sunshine hours - 1600 a year, and with winters that are very gloomy, that is what makes the total so low..

I have a view cousins who life in Washington state, One couple love it in Swanage (near Bournemouth), and stay with my grandparents there, they say the climate is very similar here to where they life, a view miles south of Seattle.

It would be pretty similar yes, I guess that Swanage is slightly more moderated though
