Spring bank holiday

With spring in full swing and summer firmly on the horizon, May happens to be one of the best times to visit London thanks to warm temperatures and a wealth of outdoor activities. Boasting a total of two bank holidays, these long weekends are the perfect opportunity for fun events and experiences across the capital.

Is there a difference between a bank holiday and a public holiday UK?

Public holidays defined by statute are called « bank holidays », but this term can also be used to include common law holidays, which are held by convention. The term « public holidays » can refer exclusively to common law holidays.
