I’m planning a trip to London, and I’m not sure whether to go in February or April. Obviously April is warmer and probably drugs store more comfortable, but February is easier for me to do.
Also, how long does it take to travel by underground from Hampstead to central London (where all the touristy places are) ?

10-20 mins and it will probably rain in february
The weather is nuts at the moment over here, but expect February to be cold. I’d recommend packing lots of layers so you’re ready for anything. Gloves are a definite, and don’t forget your umbrella. The tube from Hampstead is about half an hour. If you’re going to be anywhere near Hampstead High Street, make sure you go for crepes – a local institution and ever so yummy!
Enjoy London!
The London climate is best described as mild and temperate. Although we do get cold snaps here in London in the Winter months of January and February, on the whole it remains quite mild, at about 45 to 50F.

At the link below, you will see some photos of a family on holiday here in London in 07 – no snow, no ice, just a bit cool. Just dress sensibly and you’ll be fine.

PS – I have seen Canadians in London in February wearing short sleeves – their blood must be as thick as tar.
