December is usually wet and cold or absolutely freezing.

London should be nice in the run up to Christmas; plenty of festive markets etc.

Forget Brixton, its full of wanna be rude boys. If you're visiting go stay in the west end.

Brixton is Londons answer to South Central LA, its a right hole.

Any of the main hotels in Covent Garden are decent places to stay - that's where I always stay whenever I'm in London.
