To people in the UK maybe, I would say relatively warm. A summer night here at 59F would be chilly for sure.
And here it would be roughly average; I'm surprised the UK can match my location in lows. I suspect London would still feel cooler than here as it warms up quickly from sunrise so the hours you could feel 50s/low 60s temperatures would be shorter.

Is your avg July low 59F? London at Heathrow is 57F, not 59F. Heathrow seems a bit outside the core urban heat island of London. I'm thinking inner city London probably has avg low July temp in the low 60'sF. I don't believe the Greenwich data based on what people from the UK have said.
The further south you go from London temps seem to avg between 53F -55F for avg July low temps.
Same applies here. Our avg low in July is 69F at the airport, but inner city Philadelphia hardly ever goes below the low 70's in July/August. The avg July low is 66F at Millville NJ, around 35 miles outside the city.
Urban heat island seems to play a part in dropping temps a few no matter where in the world you are.

The average low for London during summer is generally between 13C to 15C thats 55F to 59F. The further you go out it gets slightly cooler during summer nights.
Also during the height of summer nights that go below 14C are pretty rare
How many homes in London have a central air conditioning system, not very many, I think.
Now, ask the same question in Toronto, just about ALL of them do. Or a series of window air conditioning units. Even rental apartment suites have window air conditioning units.
Now ask why...... Obviously, because Toronto gets a long, hot , summer, with weeks of `no rain `.
Can you say that about London..... No you cannot.
I rest my case.
Oh and how many Londoners carry sun glasses with them, every day. Not many, while here in Toronto I have three pairs, one in the car, one in my house, and one pair in my desk at work.
Do you know much about climates, people have different preferences. Also London does get prolonged dry spells in summer and also HEATWAVES with temperatures of 28C plus EVERY YEAR.
Have you ever been to London during a heatwave because you would definately need a good air conditioned room.
People here do carry sun glasses but unlike supposely steamy Toronto we can get Autumn type conditioned which can deter people from carrying the essential sun glasses.

And also you have no case!
No doubt it gets hot inside buildings without A/C in London during portions of the year, but the need is far less greater than in Toronto. I think I could get away without A/C in London.
What's more common in London, dry heat or humid heat? Toronto gets both, though I'm guessing leans more towards humid heat. Humidity makes all the difference IMO. If the heat in London tends to be dryer, that would make the need for A/C even less.
