It is when you're acclimated to a much warmer climate! Our coldest day of the year usually has a high around that, and I definitely need a jacket on days like that!
For me, living in NE Ohio (pretty close to Cleveland), a "real" winter for me is when I, at least once, have to white-knuckle a drive somewhere, with the radio off for silence, saying "oh ****" periodically until I reach my destination.
Ironically, now that I work from home permanently, I'm really stoked for any blizzard that will come our way knowing that I can, by choice, not drive in it. Ha.
A winter where its three coldest months have a combined mean of at least <5ºC.
So London doesn't have a winter? Here, the winter season almost exactly falls during the period that average highs are below 10c, but anywhere that has a noticeable cooler/lower light part of the year has a winter.

And for us, it's more or less when the average high is at/below 23°C lines up with 12/1-2/28(29). Avg high is 21.7°C on 12/1 and 23.3°C at the end of February

Yeah, I feel ya bro lol. I often wear just a t-shirt in that weather (unless its rainy, very windy, maybe at night, or if that's that temp indoors lol) and this comes from a person who is not fond of cold weather. I did read somewhere people can catch hypothermia at 50F if it's windy enough.

London does have a winter of course. Key word here is REAL winters. In my view a mean below <15ºC is the threshold to already have a proper, distinguishable winter season. Actually the winter mean of London is 5.3ºC in the central station, so its right there in the limit (and suburbia should be below 5ºC aswell). That's pretty in line with the influence of global warming in the city, where winters are getting more and more milder and less snowy with the years.

That's more like basement winter tbh
