A few tips for travellers when planning a trip to London.
Have a well-planned trip:
Whether you visit London or any new city having a well-planned itinerary will save time, money and a lot of hassle. Another benefit of planning is you can pack as per your activities and have a great trip. Some of the things to consider include your daily outfits, footwear etc. When travelling to London it is a must to carry an umbrella (because of the fickle weather) and also carry a sling bag, which is easy to carry. As far as toiletries go confirm with the hotel you have booked for the amenities that offer guests. If they provide the toiletries, including towels you need not bother carrying these along on the trip. If you plan to walk and explore the city ensure you have a very comfortable pair of shoes that are waterproof as well.
Check the weather forecast:
Wherever you travel and especially London you need to check the weather forecast during your stay in the city. It will help you to arrive well prepared for the weather. As the weather is totally unpredictable with sunshine one moment and showers the next, carrying an umbrella at all times is a must. During the summer months, you need not carry warm clothes except for a light jacket, as it can get rather windy in the nights. If visiting London in winter you need to pack warm clothes that will help to keep warm as it can get rather cold in the city. Similarly, in spring and autumn pack a few warm clothes as it can get chilly.
Pack smartly:
So as to ensure you have a great trip pack smartly. If you plan well and are on a short trip you can suffice with a carryon bag that saves the bother of carrying along extra luggage. For this see the weather conditions, the activities and duration of the trip. Two pair of jeans with a number of t-shirts will do just fine if you are only on a sightseeing visit. Preferably carry just a single coat or jacket as it will help to keep the luggage much lighter.
Carry just two pairs of footwear:
Shoes can add to the bulk of your baggage. So just carry two pairs, a formal pair and a pair of sports shoes along. You can carry a pair of flip-flops to wear while staying at the hotel.
