I met a woman from the Met Office today who pointed me in the direction of the UKCP09 climate projections for London:

The key messages for Islington are that temperatures will increase, summer rainfall will decrease, but winter rainfall will increase.

Looking internationally, the FCO released a map of the impact of a global temperature rise of 4 degrees in October:
