When should I start mowing my lawn?

I live in the UK. At what time of year should I start mowing my lawn?

1. Whenever the grass is taller than you want it--usually late-spring early-summer.
2. You can mow your lawn anytime you feel like it. Sometimes I mow my lawn in the winter to mulch the leaves away. However you really only have to mow your lawn twice a year to stop trees from growing and to make it look good.
3. Whenever the grass gets over 2-3" tall. The time of year is different every year. Most commonly it's in the spring, but if there's a drought, it could be summer before you need to mow.
