The best packing lists for London

London is a walking city with an underground in between. Ten to fifteen kilometres a day is normal, plus long flights of stairs with no lift — broken-in shoes and a small daypack beat extra outfits.

Good to know for London

The weather is rarely extreme but seldom reliable: drizzle turns up in any month, and in summer the old Tube tunnels get oppressively warm. One thin jacket that folds into a bag handles both.

The currency is pound sterling, and the same contactless card or phone opens the gates on the Tube and buses with no separate ticket. Sockets are type G with three flat pins at 230 V, and tap water is fine to drink.

The classic packing error is the adapter: no European plug fits type G, and hotels rarely keep spares. For the theatre or dinner a decent shirt is enough; nobody expects more.

Lists from other travellers

Public packing lists, best rated first. Ratings and copies by other travellers decide the order.
