What should I pay attention to when traveling to London, England?

The weather in London is not very good all the year round. It often rains, and the wind is very strong and cold. Travel advice is best to go in summer, which is warm and rainy. Visiting the holy places in London is mainly related to culture. There are many galleries, art galleries and museums here, as well as the British Museum, V&; Museum, National Art Gallery, Tate Kate Modern Art Gallery. Other must-see attractions include: London Wax Museum, London Eye Ferris wheel, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Harrods Department Store (Diana's lover's shop), Pigeon Square and Tower Bridge in London. If you have time, you can watch local operas and visit the open-air market. Everything in London is expensive, including accommodation and transportation. It is not suitable for shopping because it is too expensive. It is best not to stay in the city center, where it is expensive and crowded. Then buy a travel week ticket, you can take the bus, subway or train. There is no need to take a taxi. It wonn't be much faster Buying tickets every day is also several times more expensive. When shopping, there are two big sales throughout the year, two weeks before and after Christmas and summer sales (at the end of June and early July). Almost everything is on sale, including famous brands, and the discount is fierce. If it is a student visa, as long as you leave the country for the last time, you will return to China and never come back. Everything you buy can be returned, usually 17.5%. If it is a tourist visa, the tax refund for returning to China is enough. It is important to keep the invoices and goods. For example, if you buy a mobile phone, you will probably check whether the invoice is consistent with the real thing. It's best not to buy electronic products in London. They are not very cheap, but very expensive. Finally, if you want to eat Chinese food, don't go to Chinatown. It's not just bad. To sum up, London is expensive and not suitable for shopping.
