Beech trees are everywhere here. No idea what a Holm Oak is though. I'll have to Google it.
It's also called holly oak, Quercus ilex. It's an evergreen oak common in Southern England.
I thought beech trees were rare in northern England and pretty much non-existent in NI. They are native to SE England. You don't see many spruces here because they're native to Scotland and northern England, and why plant a spruce when you can plant a scots or stone pine, which are far nicer trees.
Holm Oaks are indeed quite common in southern England. There are some planted around Canoe Lake in Southsea. I even got accused of lying once on another forum, because a photo I took in January had them in the background, they thought the picture had been taken in the summer because the trees had leaves on lol...
The farther one goes north, the lower in the sky the sun is. The amount of sunshine matters less, to me, if the sun barely gets above the trees because one ends up with a lot of "sunny" days with a lot of shadows; esp. if one is in a city of tall(er) buildings.
This would eliminate, for me, any place farther north than London.
Very few cities in Europe have lots of tall buildings like you'd be used to in America. They generally build outwards instead of upwards.
Well it's true. I streetviewed Norwich a while ago as there's a chance I might be working there later in the year, I couldn't even see any cordylines looking around the suburbs.
Hmm London definitely has more evergreens than Norwich, but I was surprised when I went there, because there are actually quite a lot of evergreens, particularly pines there.
It must be because East Anglia is so dry, on the A11 up from London there are plenty of evergreen pines along the road

That picture right there though is clearly summer, people in shorts, sunny skies, definitely summer.
