What should I pack for the UK in summer?
Even in July and August, UK weather can turn cool and rainy. Pack light layers (t-shirt, light jumper, light jacket), comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, and a compact rain jacket or umbrella. UK summer temperatures typically range from 15-25°C (59-77°F).
What should I pack for the UK in winter?
UK winter (December to February) is cold, wet and dark by 4pm. Pack a warm insulated coat, thermal base layers, waterproof boots, a wool hat, gloves, scarf and a compact umbrella. Temperatures typically range from 2-8°C (36-46°F), occasionally dropping below freezing.
Do I need a UK plug adapter?
Yes, if you are coming from outside the UK. The UK uses Type G plugs (three rectangular pins). US, Canadian, European and Australian plugs will not fit — bring a Type G adapter or two.
How much luggage should I bring for a UK trip?
For a 5-7 day UK trip, one carry-on (40-55L) plus a daypack works well for most travellers. UK trains, taxis and small B&Bs are easier to navigate with lighter luggage. If you are driving or staying in larger hotels, a checked bag is fine too.
Should I pack for all four seasons in one UK trip?
If you are travelling across multiple weeks or visiting both cities and the countryside, yes. UK weather is famously changeable. Layering is the key strategy — a t-shirt plus a light jumper plus a waterproof jacket covers almost all conditions.
