Travelers from most countries need a valid passport to enter the UK. Depending on your nationality, you may also require a visa. EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals can travel with their national identity cards until the end of 2025.
You can bring in several personal items duty-free. However, there are limits on the amount of alcohol, tobacco, and perfume you can bring in.
The currency in the UK is the British Pound. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, especially Visa and MasterCard. American Express is less commonly accepted. Contactless payments are popular, and ATMs are readily available.
Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory in the UK. In restaurants, it’s customary to tip 10-15% of the bill if service is not included. In taxis, rounding up to the nearest pound is common. Tipping for other services, such as in hotels, is your choice.
As we all know, UK weather can be unpredictable, with rain possible at any time of year. It’s wise to pack layers, a waterproof jacket, and an umbrella. In summer, lighter clothing is suitable, but always have a jacket for cooler evenings. In winter, warm clothing and sturdy shoes are essential, especially if you plan to visit rural areas.
