That is not a quick question to answer and I don't have an immediate answer as far as the last week of July is concerned. However, sub 20C days in July generally are not unusual at all. A very quick look back and I find three such days in 2012 alone and another in 2013 and another in 2011.
1 July 2012 - highest temperature 19.3C Heathrow
10 July 2012 - highest temperature 19.6C Manston and Brize Norton
14 July 2012 - highest temperature 19.1C Pershore College
2 July 2013 - highest temperature 18.5C Weybourne
20 July 2011 - highest temperature 19.4C Marham
Delving way back into the archives I had a look at 1919 which has been mentioned in another thread. In the 24 hours to 7h on 29 July 1919 the temperature failed to reach 70F anywhere in the UK (temperatures in those days were always measured in F). The highest reading I can find was 69F at Bude so it did just exceed 20C here but nowhere else. Next highest was 67F at Penzance. Interestingly the temperature in London that day did not exceed 61F (Camden Sq).
