Travel tips

  • London's weather is unpredictable. Don’t forget to bring an umbrella, even in summer!
  • Remember that from 1st October 2021, a valid passport is required to travel to the UK.
  • The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is still valid in the UK. Check the conditions for applying for the EHIC. Don’t forget a plug adaptor: UK plugs are type G, with three flat pins instead of the round pins used in type F plugs.
  • Lastly, watch out when crossing the street! Always look to the right. In London, traffic runs on the left side of the road, which can be confusing for pedestrians used to looking left first. Avoid any surprises by looking in the right direction!
