What’s the current visa situation for US citizens visiting London? Planning a week-long trip to dive into the food scene and visit historical sites, I’ve heard differing opinions from friends about whether a visa is necessary.
Some say it’s quite simple, while others suggest that the need for one can depend on how long you plan to stay. For a quick visit, will I need to sort out a visa?
Additionally, any tips for entering the UK as a tourist would be appreciated! I’d love to hear from anyone who has traveled to London recently and can share their experiences or advice.
You actually don’t need a visa for a short trip to London if you’re staying less than six months. Just make sure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay. As for tips, the Tube is super handy for getting around, and definitely try some street food at Borough Market!
