London Travel Tips: What does not have to do from a London
Planning a trip and want a few tips on London’s trip? As an American who lived here for more than a decade (and married to a London) I had seen many mistakes when visiting London. Kisaran includes the awkwardness of the tube, Cringey’s efforts to British accents and suffer from eating very bad food while here.
This is not just a list of other “top 10”. These are the tips for real London travel based on what the local population Actually Want you to know. It came from years of experience learning from my own mistakes and helping people plan their dream journey in London.
This is what should not be done if you want to experience London properly, and do not take the opportunity to offend anyone along the way.
Don’t miss London’s news!
1. Don’t talk about public transportation
London Underground is not a social club. People read, scroll, or prepare mentally their day. They don’t exchange life stories. Want to chat? Save for PUB and your friends.
2. Stand on the right (always)
This is probably the most sacred rule in the city. In the tube escalator, standing on the right. Walk on the left. There are no exceptions. Block the fast path and you will sigh the sound. Or even worse, “excuse me” passive-aggressive or even one or two throw behind you.
3. Don’t give too many tips
London residents know that Americans are accustomed to giving 20% or more tips. But in London, the tip is more controlled. In restaurants, 10-12.5% are standard (and are often included in bills). No need to give tips to taxi drivers, staff bars or your coffee baristas unless the service is extraordinary.
And if the service is not impressive, don’t hesitate to delete the fees from your bill before you pay.
4. London large. You will not see everything.
Don’t try to cram everything into one trip. London is not like Disney World. This is far from the little world. London is a very, very large city.
For help, read my guide for Americans who visit London for the first time to focus your time and energy on what is really important.
Choose some main environment or themes. Examples are: history, food or theater- and explore it well. Doing this will help you really enjoy the vibrations here.
5. Only eating in the chain
Of course, pret and nando are fine in emergencies between London attractions. But this means you will lose the fantastic opportunities available for English cuisine.
Yes, I said fantastic.
If you miss a name that is well known and explore the Borough market or dive into the popular British food to eat, you will be surprised. I promise!
The following is a list of English foods that you must eat in London to start.
6. With a free assumption = no plan is needed
Yes, many of the best London Museums and Gallery are free. But you can’t just sway and expect fast entries. Almost all London attractions now need an order in advance, even if they are free.
I’ve written about What should you order first And Free things to do in the commensurate London to start.
Instructions: Sky Garden and Horizon 22 are a good alternative for London Eye. But you need to order your time in front!
7. Take a taxi without permission
Never get into a random car that claims to be a taxi. Only use a black taxi or message through licensed applications such as Uber or Bolt. If someone offers a cheap trip at Heathrow, it is a fraud. Don’t take risks.
And rickshaws cannot be relied upon. Please avoid them.
8. Mimic the English accent
No. No. This is horrified, you will not do it and can be considered a protector. The British have endless regional accents. So, save the imitation of Captain Jack Sparrow for your friends in America!
9. Placing your pinky with tea
This strange stereotype is not in real life. Nobody did this. Once. It makes you look like you are silly and haven’t drank the right tea. If you have questions about hope, read me Afternoon tea etiquette guide.
10. Don’t look at the map first
If this is ‘your first trip to Europe’, it will be commensurate with your time to review the map. Actually, the world will be the best. It is very helpful to understand how far London is to the continent. And, knowing that England including Britain, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are also smart.
Why? This means you will understand the geographical range of pound sterling. You might not use that much cash, but know where the currency is received and the cost that might apply shows you are an intelligent traveler.
Save time! Smarter trip!
