London Packing List Tips by Manyana

Luggage And Bags: because of the transport system, it's convenient to drag a wheel suitcase along with you. there are lifts and electric stairs in most of the tube stations and bag areas in buses. if you think you're travelling for 2 hours by public transport, it's better if you have no more than one suitcase to drag and one backpack. if you have loads of bags or kids, it's better if you take a taxi or a minicab for more reasonable prices

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: at all time, you've just checked the weather forecast which says that it's a sunny day today. three hours later it's raining dogs and cats. yes, this is london. and it will be become sunny again. always be prepared to have a rain coat, a jacket with a hood, or an umbrella if the rain bothers you. boots and reasonable heels can be good too. never wear flat sandals unless you have a backup shoe plan. sometimes it's very muddy

in winter, you may wish to wear a jacket with a fluffy wool hood to keep your face warm. if it gets windy, it becomes really freezing. leather gloves can be a necessity besides shoveling your hands inside your wool pockets. although it rarely snows in london, but the wind is even colder

in summer, you can wear short sleeves and light shoes, but have your umbrella with you. the weather is funny sometimes

Toiletries & Medical Supplies: have a bottle of water wherever you go especially in the summer. as it gets very congested and polluted at this time of the year, you may hydrate a lot and faint in the tube station. it's happened many times to many people.

Photo Equipment: london is photogenic! be ready to have your tripod as it gets very bright and light in the evening especially during christmas and at the thames river
small personal cameras should do it during the daytime
