  • Luggage And Bags: I would recommend a very detailed map--I love the laminated Insight London map. Also get a Tube map at any station--they are free.

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Obviously--an umbrella. You just never know when you're going to need it. So even if it's sunny when you get up, bring it with you--things change fast!

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Bring a washcloth if you feel it's a necessity! Most mid-level London hotels don't supply them automatically.

    Photo Equipment: A mini tripod if you want to make better night shots of Parliament (a stunning sight!).


    Miscellaneous: I brought a compass so that I could get my bearings when coming up out of a Tube station.

     Great page, I almost booked a ticket to London after journeying through it. I should see more of the sites on my "doorstep". Happy travels.

     Great page ! I'm also a London lover and I never get tired of it. Cool picture in front of the Platform at King Cross...I'm an Harry Potter fan but I haven't been there yet !

     You were on the wrong street if you were on Melcombe. The opening scene of "A Hard Day's Night" took place on Boston Street right beside Marylebone Train Station!
