A bit of advance research and planning on your part before your trip can make a big difference in the ease with which you travel around and in your ability to take care of the annoyances and difficulties that are bound to arise on every trip.

Be sure to have all of your papers in order when entering Britain, and determine whether you need a visa far in advance of your actual trip date.

Once you get there, your friends and relatives will be thrilled to hear from you, but perhaps less so if your call arrives in the middle of their sleep because you neglected to make sure that the time zones were in proper alignment.

Money is another important concern for travellers. Should you bring money to change in London, or use plastic instead?

Being aware of the opening hours for the London attractions and sights that you would like to enjoy is important, too. Visitors rarely have so much time to spare on a vacation that they can afford to waste an afternoon trying to visit a museum on its closing day.

Be sure to know the licensing laws when you want to go out for a drink; you don't want to run afoul of underage drinking statutes or illegal after hours clubs.
