Unless you are staying in a luxury hotel, always bring all your own toiletries. I've been to London and stayed in budget hotels many many times, and noticed that soap is all you get and sometimes you just get a sachet so I always bring even my own soap

Leaving for London in 3 days. First time and freaking out a little lol. Binge watching your videos. You're awesome for what you do!!

2:42 every major train station (waterloo, kings cross, liverpool street, victoria..) has at least one water refill station, and all of the Prêts too! free water!

And if you do forget an adapter, at least for USB charging devices- you can use a TV port to charge (slower, harder to reach bc it's on the back, but it works as long TV is on).
If you see a supermarket or a 'PoundLand' store you can get an adapter for a pound (gift shops were asking 7-10 ponds for the simple adapter, and 27 pounds for the 'worldwide' adapter 😶).

Just got back. Make sure your voltage adapter has USB ports. I bring my own soap and I also bring washcloths which their hotels never have. Layers are the best - leggings plus a big top but also pack a fleece or a warm sweater. This last time I brought everything black.

I have less than 2 weeks before I arrive in London. You have been a great help to me. I am not freaking out about what to do when I get there. Thank you so much.

Nailed it! Plug adapter for charging - absolutely. We had great October weather, but layers were ideal for cool mornings, warm afternoons. And a compact umbrella protects from the unexpected rain. Great advice, Jess!

Jess - good call on keeping copies of your credit cards and passport. Hopefully, no one will ever need them but they'll be glad they have them if they do!

I was born in London and have lived in various places in the south of England, but whenever I visit London, it always feels as though I'm home.

My husband listened to this. Thank you!

Thanks! I hadn't thought of some of those tips. I'm going to be all over the UK for the next two months, and I want my packing to be as streamlined as possible.

My fiancée managed to blow up my last adapter - her hair straighteners weren’t dual voltage! All too easy to do.

Love the outtakes at the end, cute touch.

Love this blog, very good tips! Never thought of copying my passport but I will now! Going to London maybe this summer, I want to see the celebration of the Queen's Birthday but most like the end of year, because its expensive in the summer
