Unless you are staying in a luxury hotel, always bring all your own toiletries. I've been to London and stayed in budget hotels many many times, and noticed that soap is all you get and sometimes you just get a sachet so I always bring even my own soap
2:42 every major train station (waterloo, kings cross, liverpool street, victoria..) has at least one water refill station, and all of the Prêts too! free water!
Nailed it! Plug adapter for charging - absolutely. We had great October weather, but layers were ideal for cool mornings, warm afternoons. And a compact umbrella protects from the unexpected rain. Great advice, Jess!
I have less than 2 weeks before I arrive in London. You have been a great help to me. I am not freaking out about what to do when I get there. Thank you so much.
And if you do forget an adapter, at least for USB charging devices- you can use a TV port to charge (slower, harder to reach bc it's on the back, but it works as long TV is on). If you see a supermarket or a 'PoundLand' store you can get an adapter for a pound (gift shops were asking 7-10 ponds for the simple adapter, and 27 pounds for the 'worldwide' adapter 😶).
Just got back. Make sure your voltage adapter has USB ports. I bring my own soap and I also bring washcloths which their hotels never have. Layers are the best - leggings plus a big top but also pack a fleece or a warm sweater. This last time I brought everything black.
Jess - good call on keeping copies of your credit cards and passport. Hopefully, no one will ever need them but they'll be glad they have them if they do!
My fiancée managed to blow up my last adapter - her hair straighteners weren’t dual voltage! All too easy to do. Love the outtakes at the end, cute touch.
Thanks! I hadn't thought of some of those tips. I'm going to be all over the UK for the next two months, and I want my packing to be as streamlined as possible.
Love this blog, very good tips! Never thought of copying my passport but I will now! Going to London maybe this summer, I want to see the celebration of the Queen's Birthday but most like the end of year, because its expensive in the summer
Absolutely love your videos.. they are so useful . Thank you for the free guide ❤ i am really looking forward to my visit in may and also my stay there fore higher education !
Thanks for the tip about copying credit cards! I had already scanned in my passport, but it didn't occur to me that if my credit card gets stolen, I would have a harder time cancelling the card without the number.
Have you heard of revolut? It’s an app with a card that can do transactions in pounds, dollars, and euros. Obviously don’t rely on just that card, but it’s a really cool thing and instantly can be locked or cancelled in the app. Where in London are you? I love your passion! ❤️
Always honey! I hope you continue to enjoy London! When I lived in England I got stuck living in the West Midland so nothing as glamorous as where you are LOL.
Your videos were so helpful for me on my trip to London and you've inspired me to start a channel/blog for my hometown! Do you mind sharing what video editing software you use? I'm not sure where to begin with that. Thanks and keep up the great videos!
You can buy plug adapters at the airport or at stores in UK like WH Smith. If you are American buy a British sim card on pay as you go basis here in UK - much cheaper than American phones! For now (Brexit may mess this up) European visitors have same price as at home EU roaming rights on their phones.
Binging through these while I’m planing my uk trip 😊. I would have thought most people in 2019 would have their banking app on their phone which would show your card details
A lot of older people won't and anyway, although it may be useful, it's not much use if your phone gets stolen or dies. It's always good to have the photocopied versions as a backup. I hope you enjoyed your UK visit.
Geoffrey W Ashley it makes little difference on the phone, it’s a bankcard just like any other bankcard. The app advantage is you can do your banking through the app but equally can do it with any Internet connection. The wonderful thing about them is if you are going to Europe you can spend them in euros, England you can spend it in pounds, and also there is an account for dollars. I wouldn’t have it as the only option but I find it’s the only one I ever use as it has such exquisite exchange rates up to the minute. Happy travels!
I watched this one a while ago & forgot to comment how good this video was ! A very useful video to watch !! I am now subbed to your channel ! 😀👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎵🎶💞
Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you! I'm planning my first trip to London and I've found your videos the most useful, complete and honest. =)
Also, right around when this video was made flagship phones (iPhone XR, Pixel 2, and Galaxy S20, among others) started supporting eSIM cards. By now unless you’re rocking a budget model it probably supports the technology. (Like the Galaxy A54 does and I’d call that a midrange model.) eSIM cards are kind of like gift cards for cell service: you pay for a code (usually a QR these days) that you enter into a certain screen in your phone’s Settings menu, and boom, you have access to a second network. Since eSIMs are digital products they can be cheaper (even the more deluxe packages with voice, text, and unlimited data are about US$5 a day) and you can get them delivered instantly. Exact compatibility can vary, so of course read up on your options.
It's been few years since last London trip, but I've totally forgot about the itinerary details. Thanks, need to print those for both me and brother - London Calling End of January! ;)
Sorry Laura I had forgotten to put the link to one you can order before you arrive, it's here: www.giffgaff.com/orders/affiliate/jessdante (that's an affiliate link) or you can pick one up at the airport (more expensive), supermarket, convenience store, etc.
I am visiting London in August. It’s my first time flying, ever. How do I need to pack according to the weather? It usually gets really hot here in North Carolina in August. Any tips?
I’m in the same situation, and from what you describe the weather over there in August is pretty much the same as what we get here in Rome. Hope you enjoy your trip!
A wifi device is a portable device that emits internet, which you can pre-pay for. Alternatively, we also have a resource page with some of our favourite e-sims here: loveandlondon.com/resources/
Most of French people doesn't need a SIM card since most of our mobile phone plans include EU countries in it. The amount of data may vary, depending on the plan
Why do Americans only visit London, Stratford upon Avon, and Stonehenge? Head North to Lancashire or Yorkshire for some really ancient history, beautiful landscapes, and very friendly natives.
@@loveandlondon hm. I don't have one, but last time I visited London on my way to get my dog, my charger worked if I remember correctly. If they don't work, I have a charging socket thing in my car
Thank you so much for all of the helpful information. I’m getting ready for my 2nd trip to London. This time without our kids and my parents. Do you have any advice for fun date nights for a cultured couple?
Not sure they have ones FOR the UK IN the Uk shops... maybe though! Better to just have it before you arrive so you don't have to stress when your phone dies. The ones in the video are just random ones I've gotten but here's a great refillable coffee cup: www.amazon.com/KeepCup-Reusable-Toughened-Non-Slip-Silicone/dp/B01D8IPEJM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ref_=bl_dp_s_web_8322568011&linkCode=sl1&tag=loveandlondon-20&linkId=4e87ab9d9baec4213f3b31fd54ce3828&language=en_US
Hey Jess!! I’m coming to London next week and see it’s still pretty “cool” temperature wise. Is it okay to bring comfortable black knee high boots? Also, for the warmer days, what about nice flip flop sandals? Not the rubbery cheap kind? TIA!! 😊
Hi there! Any chance you can update this post Covid? My husband and I are coming the second half of May till the end of May, and we are basically doing a whistle stop tour from London all the way up to Scotland! Cannot figure out the coat to bring… I know it needs to be at least water resistant… But waterproof?
Hello Jess, I need to know more about the wifi device and how to get one. The link has information on sim cards, but not the wifi device, which, on the video, appears to be a plastic card. Please excuse my ignorance on this stuff. I am a low-tech person, born in the BC (before computers) era. But I do know my phone is an old flip-phone and not the unlocked variety. Love your videos!
Hi Tina, I talk about the wifi device in this video: ruclips.net/video/fvybxfxx6jc/видео.html but it won't work with your phone if it doesn't get data/wifi on it (which usually those old phones don't.)
@@loveandlondon Thank you! I checked things out with my phone company, and they have a pretty good deal. But I'll recommend the wifi device to my friends, just like I recommend your videos.
Link given in the description box for London 101 guide is not working. Kindly update the same. I will be moving to London with hubby and my son in a couple of month. Will be very helpful.thanks
Noon in USA…Hi Jess…I don’t have an instagram account but I would love to get or buy your 101 tips on London…it will take a couple of years before I come..do you link anything on you tube and if so how can I get to them? Thank you..Elizabeth 😊
Nope, they're all pretty similar :) Here's one on Amazon: amzn.to/2U72YDW I do like ones like that with USB plugs for phone chargers and such, but it's up to you if you want that.
Amazon is a very unethical company so we do not recommend buying from them. We do have links to things you can buy for your trip in the London Packing Guide: shop.loveandlondon.com/products/london-packing-guide
It's a South London suburb with a teaching hospital, the HQ of the Salvation Army, a nice park and some pretty architecture. If you're based there, for your stay, it has a well-connected overground rail station, but save money and take the 185 Bus to Victoria. For £1:50, the 185 bus will take you to central Westminster, 5 minutes from Buckingham Palace; sit on the top deck and there's plenty to see, en-route.
Is the recommendation for a SIM CARD and WIFI Device for older phones? I have an IPHONE XR. I should be ok as long as I have all my international services taken care of by my carrier right?
Traveling to London at the end of March for five days , not willing to visit many places but not sure if backpack will be enough to carry on what I need .
I have used eSIMs from an App called Aíralo when in Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Mexico, Malta, Cabo Verde, Turkey and love it. Always worked for me and is easy to use and install. There are RUclips videos if you need help. If you have at least an iPhone 11 you can use eSims. Don’t know about Android.
i’m visiting there pretty soon! thanks for the advice! how do you feel about st christopher’s village on high street ? a friend was looking into booking it for us and just wanted some advice before doing so!! :)
Hey Kori! Check out the article: loveandlondon.com/8-great-areas-to-stay-in-while-visiting-london/ if you need help with booking a place to stay, plus this month is "Book Your London Hotel" month on the channel so watch out for four videos coming that will help with this kind of stuff.

Great!
I was born in London and have lived in various places in the south of England, but whenever I visit London, it always feels as though I'm home.
lived there for the past year and now "back home"...which doesn't feel like home anymore and I need to get back to London
Jess - good call on keeping copies of your credit cards and passport. Hopefully, no one will ever need them but they'll be glad they have them if they do!
Exactly :)
Also, don't forget to bring a rain coat/parka or an umbrella. It rains a lot.
I am watching your videos just to learn English coz it sounds realistic unlike oriented videos. Thanks dear.
Thank you for the free guide and your advice was very helpful! Going to London for the first time in two weeks!

in regards to sim cards. Some carriers (like TMobile have an international plan included with the cell plan already). so a sim card is not needed.
of course

You're welcome! Have a great trip
Hey, quick question! If you were moving to London what would you do about the, ‘where are you staying and when are you leaving’ thing.
You still need the address you'll be staying at and then put "length of visa" for length of stay
Oh, thanks!
Perfect! We’re in London 2nd April. Thanks so much.

Is the recommendation for a SIM CARD and WIFI Device for older phones? I have an IPHONE XR. I should be ok as long as I have all my international services taken care of by my carrier right?
Same advice for both!
Traveling to London at the end of March for five days , not willing to visit many places but not sure if backpack will be enough to carry on what I need .
Me too! I am worried it is going to be cold then
What about sim card usage and etc.?
I have used eSIMs from an App called Aíralo when in Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Mexico, Malta, Cabo Verde, Turkey and love it. Always worked for me and is easy to use and install. There are RUclips videos if you need help. If you have at least an iPhone 11 you can use eSims. Don’t know about Android.
Do recommend transferring money to pounds or mostly using credit cards?
We are a very card heavy city so you can totally get by with no cash ❤️
i’m visiting there pretty soon! thanks for the advice! how do you feel about st christopher’s village on high street ? a friend was looking into booking it for us and just wanted some advice before doing so!! :)
