Kew Gardens is in a frost hollow, yet has warmer highs than Heathrow. Heathrow has the 2nd lowest highs of all the low elevation stations in London (Heathrow, Kew, Greenwich, LWC, SJP). Only Hampton is slightly cooler, and that's because the station is on the banks of the Thames.
So many stations in London -
what they should do is just average everything out and call that LONDON ...all this too-ing and thro-ing .
Kew does seem to come out the best out of all the stations but that obviously has an advantage in a way Greenwich has a disadvantage .
However , the highest temps are, and rightly belong in southern East Anglia .
average of all 5 London sites (no excuses please) 115.8 /5 = 23.16
Beaten by East Bergholt and Colchester fair and square and without having to resort to UHI
Let's settle this. the UHI certainly impacts minimum temps dramatically when compared to rural temps, we know this right?
Some do.

Seen from Fig. 5, all the four urban stations have suffered urban heat island to varying degrees. TUN station suffers the highest daily mean UHI intensity during the warm months from March to September, while UHI intensity in HKO station only exceeds that in TUN during the cooler months from October to February (Fig. 6).
It's not always an easy problem, measurements are required.

It means that during the hot period, the urbanized areas in the New Territories are the critical areas worth planners and researchers paying attention to.
