Similar to the London vs La Paz thread. Both have the same amount of sunshine (London has 3 hours more), with Bogota resembling London's May in every month temperature-wise and record highs that would be an average summer day in London.

Bogotá - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

London.

Bogota is fairly comfortable but like La Paz has no seasonal temperature variations, not much better than La Paz with the low sunshine hours.

Well according to the links you gave, from Wikipedia (quoting Met Office & the Colombian Weather Institue or whatever ^^) Bogota has 200 more sunshine hours.

I'd go for Bogota. Fair chance of 20'ish°C temps year rounds, every month has 100+ sun hours, high sun angle, no horribly short, dark days like London in winter...no question!

London's only advantage is its warmer summers, but man you have to pay them with months and months and months of dark depressing cool weather.

This answer is also mine.

LONDON, obviously. Boring Bogata is a cold hell with cold nights no sun and loads of rain.

Bogota's temps seem a little boring.

London.

London - Cloudier, cooler much of the year, and more variety

The sunshine stats for London on wikipedia are for Greenwich, the cloudiest part of the city. Heathrow gets 1630 hours and Kew closer to 1700 hours, so London is sunnier than Bogota.

London wins again easily. London has a cool winter, and compared to Bogota a decent summer. I'd take a 75F July day in London over the same old 68 in summer vs 65 in winter. Too boring and doesn't get a warm enough summer for me.
