Before you go, here are a few tips to help you prepare your journey to London:

• Regarding entry requirements for the United Kingdom: check to make sure your passport or ID card has not expired. Hong Kong SAR passport holders do not need a visa to visit the UK.
• Check the exchange rate between the British Pound Sterling and the Hong Kong Dollar so as to ensure you bring enough funds with you. You can exchange your HKD for pounds before you travel, or upon arrival in a Post Office.
• Check when the school holidays fall to avoid crowds of school-age children in free attractions such as certain museums.
• London is 7 hours behind Hong Kong in the summer and 8 hours behind it in the winter.
• Book your accommodation in good time, not to mention your outings! For example, you can buy seats for London shows in advance.
• You will not need an electric adapter in the UK as the British 3 pin electricity socket is also found in Hong Kong.
