I have found that even a very small air-pocket after a coolant drain or change (see John AZ's suggestion) can produce striking irregularities in my average engine temperature as displayed on the gauge. I'd be inclined to check that again.
So true,i've lived in Australia any cooling is working hard in those conditions,but London in the middle of winter?,they ARE A ***** TO BLEED,no question there????
