โœˆ๏ธ Travel Tips

Weather can be unpredictableโ€”bring layers and a waterproof jacket. The London Underground (Tube) is efficient but can be expensive. Consider getting an Oyster card for London travel. Pubs close earlier than in many countries. Tipping is generally 10-15% in restaurants but not mandatory. Book popular attractions like the Tower of London in advance to avoid queues.
