Some tips for when you’re travelling to London

You don’t need perfect English to be understood, because London has people from all around the world.

Tips for sights you should not miss vi­si­ting: 

Even if you think the Na­tu­ral His­to­ry Mu­seum isn’t re­al­ly your thing, you should still de­fi­ni­te­ly vi­sit it. It is so worth it. It’s so be­au­ti­ful and very fas­ci­na­ting. 

The­re’s this mall in West­field. It’s ext­re­me­ly huge but worth vi­si­ting. Eve­ryt­hing you might want to shop for is the­re.  

Be­si­des tho­se sights, eve­ry sight in Lon­don is worth see­ing and the­re’s no doubt in that. 

Tips for your vo­ca­bu­la­ry: 

Lon­don has pe­op­le from all around the world be­cau­se of co­lo­ni­a­li­za­ti­on. So, you don’t need per­fect Eng­lish to be un­ders­tood. The big­gest is­sue will most li­ke­ly be you un­ders­tan­ding what they say to you but don’t be af­raid to ask them again. 

Use­ful know­led­ge: 

Lon­don is known to be very rai­ny so al­ways pack your umb­rel­la and jac­ket with you. 

The UK is no lon­ger a part of the Eu­ro­pe­an Uni­on, so if you tra­vel the­re, you should try to be a litt­le less on your pho­ne. That’s be­cau­se your Wi-Fi bill may cost a litt­le more than usu­al. 

Take a copy of your pass­port and keep that pa­per so­mew­he­re else than whe­re you keep your ac­tu­al pass­port just in case.

Lon­don is also a huge pla­ce so you shouldn’t even try to vi­sit eve­ry pla­ce pos­sib­le in a short amount of time. You will eit­her not view them pro­per­ly, or you will end up gi­ving your­self a burn­out, and that will just le­a­ve you fee­ling like you didn’t live in the mo­ment. 

Tips for sa­fe­ty: 

Lon­don is a huge city with a mass po­pu­la­ti­on and un­for­tu­na­te­ly the­re are a lot of thie­ves. You shouldn’t keep anyt­hing va­lu­ab­le like wal­lets, pass­ports, or pho­nes in your poc­kets. Ins­te­ad, you should put them in your back­pack. Ne­ver le­a­ve your pro­per­ty unat­ten­ded. 

Be­cau­se Lon­don is a huge city, you should be ext­re­me­ly ca­re­ful when it co­mes to traf­fic.
