What To Bring To London In May

How is the weather in london on 18 may ?

Thats all of 10 days away - so the weather will be anyone's guess. We were supposed to get a soaking today but it has been really warm and dry all day. I don't think you will need heavy coats but layers that you can take off if you get warm or put on if you feel cold would be a good idea.

Can i bring my grinder (marijuana) from london to amsterdam?

Traveling to the Netherlands it is very unlikely that you will find yourself in problems for carrying a grinder.
On the way back a clean grinder, if found, may well start a search through your luggage, and maybe even one where you are completely checked yourself (think gloved hands feeling in places even doctors do not normally feel.)
If there are any remains of drugs left on or in the grinder, or a lingering smell a drugs dog can detect, the chances for a check are very much higher. And those dogs can smell very small amounts.

It is not the grinder itself that is allowed or banned, it is the lingering smell on it you should avoid.
Keep to a simple rule: Never bring any drugs across a border and do never bring anything across a border that alerts the customs people and dogs on the fact that you use drugs.
And yes, Weed is counted as serious drugs by the customs people.

How much should I bring to London for a week trip?

How much should I bring to London for a week trip?I will recommend seven changes of underwear and socks - you can’t go wrong with basic hygiene.You may also want to take some GBP as well - £60/day/person should do you for restaurants and souvenirs (as long as you don’t eat too posh). The Albert Pub (bout two blocks from Buckingham is a favourite of ours).Research the costs of attractions (HIGHLY recommend the Tower of London, London Eye, Buckingham Palace, guided walking tour of London Proper, take a trip out to Windsor, and another to where they filmed the Harry Potter franchise)

How much money should I bring for a 6 month trip to London?

Ok, lets break down some of the costs before we can get a total. TravelYou say that you live quite close to class, so I'll assume you live less than 1 zone away from where you'll be studying. (London is split into 6 zones). A weekly zone 1-2 travelcard is £20.50. For 6 months that'll be £492. It could be more or less depending on if you live more than one zone away from class and whether or not you travel to extra places.(EDIT: Chris Gilbert quite rightly pointed out that the above amount is for a student. However if you do not qualify as a student according to the rules laid down by Transport for London, then the cost will be much higher.) Stationary/EquipementEven though your textbooks are provided, you'll still need to buy paper, pens, pencils etc. Lets assume approx £200 for the whole 6 months. FoodAround £15 - £20 per day, but that is heavily dependant on whether or not you're trying to save money or would prefer to spend freely. I used to live on approx £10 per day when I was studying (though I'd strongly not recomend that). At £15 - £20 per day that's £2,700 - £3,600. Clothes/Toiletries/Hygine ProductsObviously I'm assuming you'll bring most of your own clothes. Not sure if you're a boy or girl, but obviously the answer will differ for either gender. But I don't really think you'll spend more than £100-£150 over the 6 months. Entertainment/DrinksIt honestly depends on what you plan on doing (for example a cinema ticket will cost approx £10-15). And prices can change depending on what part of London you go to. But I'd (very roughly estimate) around £100 per week on entertainment and drinks (we have a massive drinking culture. A lot of your money may end up being spent on that) So that's £2,400, but you could easily bring that down since I really doubt you'll be spending £100 every single week. So in total that's is approx £6,850, but honestly aroud £6,000 should be enough. But again if you're really, really frugal, then should be able to bring that amount down by a significant amount. Hope you enjoy London. Let me know if you need any another answers. I'm glad to help :-)

I'm moving from the USA to London in two weeks. What American products should I bring with me?

Fascinating list of things Americans seem to pine for when in the UK - mostly sweet stuff, it seems. But, just picking up a few of the items mentioned in answers - and spending a very short time looking them up on the internet, I have found:Melatonin, you can buy online from several UK stockists - if you want an American Brand, Piping Rock will send some over from the US (I know, because I’ve bought stuff from them); you can buy New Amsterdam Gin in Asda (part of Walmarts chain) and you can get Carters Root beer in there, too.You can buy red licorice in enormous tubs from Amazon UK - and many other stores. I don’t know US brands and it may be that the stuff sold in the UK is Australian and a bit different from that in the US, but you won’t know till you try it.You can get Hidden Valley Ranch dressings on eBay - or try American Fizz (you can get lots of American stuff from them); A1 sauce is sold in Tesco; Jell-O on eBay among others. You can get Wild Turkey Whiskey, or Tin Cup (Drinks Supermarket); Nesquik shakes are available in strawberry, chocolate, banana etc from eBay or Waitrose.As for Zout stain remover, never tried it but a friend from Michigan arrived with a sweatshirt that had a small stain on it that she couldn’t get out, whatever she tried in the US. I rubbed the stain with a Vanish stain bar (available all over but on the internet if you can’t find it) and then put the sweatshirt in to wash; stain completely removed and she was delighted. But you can buy Zout stain remover in the UK from Amazon and other places as well.Some things are very different - UK chocolate bars aren’t a bit like Hershey - but you can get Hershey over here if you want.And there are many things in the UK that taste so much better than anything you can get in the USA: butter, cream, many wonderful varieties of cheese, yoghurt, savory flans, sausages - well, I think most meat and fish is better in the UK than in the US.Before deciding to bring over loads of stuff - unless you’re never going back to the USA again - just bring a few favorites and, if you miss anything, look online first before deciding the stuff you would like is not available anywhere in the UK.Hope the move goes well and enjoy your time this side of the pond!

How do Londoners dress?

I'm a female going abroad to study at a university in London from January-May. What's the weather going to be like and how do people in London dress? I like to dress fashionably, but I don't want to overdress, which is my worry. What's the general style of females in London (and males if you've got the time)? Thanks so much!

What do you wear in London in summer?

Weather in London is all over the place, but be ready for heavy rain and for hot sun.Generally, though, what you need to wear will be governed by what you're intending to do while you're here. Are you looking at doing a lot of walking? If so, good walking boots would be an excellent plan - blisters can put a serious damper on an otherwise nice day out. Be aware that the excellent mass transit network in London means you don't actually *have* to do that much walking to get from place to place, but if the weather isn't terrible I'd recommend you walk anyway. Most of the stuff in the centre isn't that far apart, and it's a great way to experience the city.Other things you might want to be aware of: Air pollution can be a significant issue in central London (although obviously it depends on where you're coming from - it's not as bad as some of the megacities in Asia, for example), so while I wouldn't go as far as wearing a mask, if you're asthmatic or have respiratory issues anyway it might be worth considering.London is one of the greenest cities in the world, at 40% green space by area. This is great if you like parks, but it means there can be pretty significant pollen issues. If you have hayfever, remember to pack appropriately.London can also have surprisingly heavy UV levels, even when the sun isn't visible. I've gotten sunburned on cloudy days a number of times, so if you're prone to peeling, don't forget the sun cream, and maybe think about bringing a hat.Also, as a side note, enjoy the food here! London is the most cosmopolitan city in the world, and there is fantastic cuisine from all over available, often for surprisingly reasonable prices.
