HOW TO PACK FOR YOUR TRIP TO LONDON
England is a fairy tale world all its own, home to Shakespeare, King Arthur and Round Table lore, and centuries of scandalous monarchs. But, while you're taking in all the castles, palaces and ancient ruins for which England is known, make sure you come ready for its equally infamous weather.
-
Prepare for any kind of weather. England's weather, like much of Western Europe, is fickle and can change within minutes.
-
Select comfortable and wrinkle-free clothing that you can layer and mix and match. This will allow you to be prepared for ever-changing and unpredictable weather conditions. Include a sweater to carry with you during the day.
-
Pack a raincoat and umbrella. England is notorious for its rainy weather.
-
Take a coat, hat, scarf and gloves. Fall, winter and spring days in Britain can be bitterly cold, so take a medium or heavy coat for a trip during those months.
-
Choose sturdy shoes that you can tolerate walking in for hours at a time. Even taking advantage of the Underground, other public transportation or taxis, you can count on doing a lot of walking.
-
Pack appropriate evening attire for whisking off to the theatre or having an intimate dinner overlooking the River Thames.
