There really is no way to know especially for London. With Olympics in London in late summer could be forcing other travelers to go earlier and put more pressure on early summer fares. Then coupled with raising oil prices, reduced capacity of airlines and you have a situation that is very unpredictable. The deals are January and February, not May and June. It is a dice roll and anybody who has a definite answer is lying.

Book when you see number that you like, especially since you wish to travel in May and early June. Use kayak. com. to compare fares. Predicting airfare is like predicting the weather. Will say it's pretty much a given airfares are higher during the summer months. Captive audience. Traditional time for travel. School is out. Same with gas prices. ALWAYS rise in June, July and August. Since you've posted elsewhere on the forum I suggest you buy and read the RS Europe Through the Backdoor Guide. Will provide practical information on travel modes, accommodations, weather, crowds, etc. FYI the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in London is the 2nd week of June. God Save The Queen!
