I think we got about 2 weeks of "summer" and it was spread over a day here and there. I'd recommend before summer as opposed to after. So maybe June if you can. Weather usually holds up pretty well unless you manage to pick a week of rain. Problem with going into September and October is the lack of sunlight as the days get shorter.
I agree that August is a bugger. It's the month of my birthday and everybody takes that time to go on holiday or go out places. You'll find all major attractions busy and the roads slightly more crowded.
Whenever you come over, don't sleep in late thinking you got a good few hours to see the sights. The best light is in the morning as you know, England is no exception.
I'm not sure what to suggest, but I'd say earlier rather than later, to make the most of English daylight (which is almost always....dull).
