To find out the local weather log onto bbc.co.uk/weather and choose London as your city.
The weather of late has been exceptionally good, but if you're coming to test out some torches in the English countryside, wrap up warm!
Yes, I agree with previous posters... London is VERY expensive! England is a very expensive place to have a holiday!
Yes, you may also find that people are more likely to buy torchware off you than you buying it in London!
Be prepared to venture out of the capital and you can find much cheaper deals on accomodatiom, food, torches(!) etc.
You can travel by bus a lot cheaper than by train using the National Express bus network (
www.gobycoach.com .)
The buses run right from the airport terminal to most major UK cities. The bus is my most preferred form of transport to and from the airport. It is more reliable than the train, (due to our over stretched and under funded rail network!)
