Heading to London/Stockholm next week - Coats?
As the title says, I'm heading to London next week for a week of general carousing, sight-seeing and dining. I'm packing light, just carry-ons, but I want to make sure to pack appropriately for the time of year.
I'm stuck on which coat to bring with and would love some input as a tie breaker (I do have a packable shell layer that I'm bringing with for really inclement weather when I head north for some daytrips in the yorkshire moors/dales)
I'm stuck between the following
Kaptain Sunshine Traveler Coat
Gloverall Duffle
Wythe Casentino Shawl Collar
Beams Patchwork Balmacaan
Any thoughts?

Not sure what the weather is right now but when we were in London (mid-october) a Barbour was generally enough. I think I brought a thinner Uniqlo sweater for the one day it was on the cooler side. Point is, those may all be overkill (unless you’re going in November)
It will be 24 degrees and sunny. You will boil
Nice coats though!
Yeah it's not going to be too cold yet for London
Would take a shorter jacket or coat
Not a long coat
With this transitional weather, a heavier layer to throw over a t shirt/shirt and then a thin water/wind resistant jacket over that will serve perfectly. It will be a decent temp shift from early morning into afternoon, and if the sun pokes out it can still quite warm.
The traveler coat is a grail piece for me though, absolutely beautiful silhouette
