But then you have better late Spring and Summer temps.
London averages
14C/57F in April,
18C/64F in May,
21C/70F in June,
23C/74F in July and August,
20C/68F in Sept.
The warmest temps are found in late July and early August when the average is about 24.5C/76.1F.
Our summer is better, and our Spring can be quite warm, hot even sometimes.
(HIGH-variability in temps between years. )
Toronto Averages
11C/52 F April
18C/64 F May
24C/75 F June
27C/80 F July
26C/78 F August
22C/72 F September
15C/59 F October
Outside of Jun, Jul and Aug it seems about the same.
September averages are misleading, imho,
as the first half is like 25-22 C and pretty-steady temps,
and the second half is like 21-18 C, but with a rollercoast of temps; a few days in the 11-14 C range.

Buxton is very different from most of the climate of England, due to being in a windward location up on a bunch of hills. In that it is much cloudier, wetter and colder. I lived near London, which has an admirable climate for its latitude in my opinion. For somewhere at 52 degrees north, these averages aren't bad, far better than the rubbish Canada or Russia have to offer at that parallel:
The main downside is lack of sunshine. Annually there is only 22" of rain, however. For Buxton, knock about 2-3C off all those numbers. Oh, and we get 50" of rain a year.
What sucks most is that it was 2003 when I moved house in April to Buxton from London area which reached 101F/38C in the heatwave later that year, which I missed. However the day I moved to Buxton, April 16th 2003, it was a nice warm 80F/27C across England.
Not all places in Canada at 52N latitude are cold for their latitude. That parallel goes through the southern part of the Queen Charlotte Islands which has a climate similar to Scotland and probably around the same averages as Buxton I would guess. In fact, the Queen Charlottes are known as one of the biodiversity hotspots in Canada.
Compared to Nikolayevsk-on-Amur, Canada doesn't look so bad. link
