Essential things to know for staying in England
The weather in England is an unpredictable nightmare, so always keep an umbrella.
Cash tickets are expensive in London, so you’ll need a card to use public transportation.
You’ll also find most shops, restaurants and major services will accept bank cards. The only time you may need cash is at small markets, some buses and occasionally other businesses. Many shops and businesses now also take contact less which is a nice little time saver.
If you do find you need to exchange cash into pounds, we usually recommend doing it at the Post Office for a decent rate.
CityMapper is a great app that will tell you all of your options for getting from point A to point B on London’s public transportation, including taxis and bike. Google Maps is also a good alternative, but the one thing that CityMapper does better than Maps is that it tells you how much each journey option will cost, so if you’re pinching pounds, it’s pretty helpful.
Throughout England, you can generally drink the tap water. Should this not be possible you’ll often have a notice near or above the tap.
If you plan on driving during your visit to England then remember to drive on the left.

After the travel completed
I live in the United Arab Emirates and only come to the United Kingdom for business or vacation. If I do not live in the United Kingdom, do the residence laws still affect me?
You do not really need to reside in the UK to get caught up in the laws that can make you a United Kingdom resident for tax motives. There are many circumstances and factors that determine whether or not you live under legal residency testing rules.
One of these elements is the duration of days you are in the United Kingdom for any tax year (twelve months). Depending on the quantity of links (or ties) you have with the UK, you may find that your usual vacations in London have built you United Kingdom resident and subject to United Kingdom tax rules for that year!
