2. Keep your phone close to you!!
Pickpocketing is common in big cities, and London is no exception, particularly when it comes to phones. Even holding your phone for a few seconds can make you a target. We recommend keeping your phone out of sight or holding it with two hands when in use. A phone case with a lanyard can also add an extra layer of security.
3. Use your creditcard or Oyster card for London public transportation.
Cash is rarely accepted on London’s public transport system. Instead, use a contactless credit card or an Oyster card for a smoother and more affordable experience.
• Oyster cards can be topped up and are available at airports and train stations.
• If using a credit card, always check in and out with the same card to avoid double charges.
4. Book Tickets Ahead
London is busy year-round, so popular attractions often have long queues. Avoid wasting time by purchasing your tickets in advance, and consider paying a bit extra to skip the lines.
