40 years ago I was an Army guy stationed in Germany, and I passed through Karlsruhe many times on the way from Mannheim to Freiburg or Stuttgart. Karlsruhe is in the Rhine River valley, and not far from Strasbourg, France. Spring, Summer and Fall have long stretches of mild, pleasant temps that are good for outdoor activities. A great place to sit on the terrace of a local Brauhaus and sip a tall mug of beer.
I like good sunshine and mild winters. Karlsruhe is a bit warm in the summer and cold in winter, though its summer sunshine hours are good. London is pleasant in the summer but it seems drizzlier and gloomy even in summer.
I'm on the fence here, but more leaning towards Karlsruhe because of slightly more sunshine.
