I dislike the British climate overall, though I much prefer the southeast over the northwest. Cambridge gets a D whereas Lerwick gets an F. Most places would get between D- and E.
I hate London's climate in the same way I hate Seattle's; way too overcast and way too little sunshine for the amount of rain, and chilly and damp 9 months a year. Summers are just okay even though I prefer a bit warmer.
I don't hate it at all. There are far worse climates mostly in cold continental climates. Seems it is not extreme and more moderate like me. I also think sun can be overrated when it comes in long periods of stable dry weather. I get bored with that.
