Don't enter (or invade personal space) · 2.Don't underestimate the English people love for tea and tea breaks · 3.Avoid traveling during peak times, don't pressure yourself (or invade) yourself. If you're looking for ideas, there are plenty of posts to read on this blog, including my definitive list of places to visit in the UK, which includes 100 places to visit and is a great starting point for planning. This is important if you want to basically avoid annoying the entire population of London. Stay to the right so that those who are fitter, young or late can run at 100 miles per hour.
If temperatures rise above 16 degrees (you expect to see people wearing t-shirts and shorts) and above 23, it's a heat wave and people will tell you a million times a day that it's too hot. Most days you'll need it. Tipping is voluntary in most places in England. If you want to leave a tip for good service at a restaurant, the general rule is to give a 10% tip.
Sometimes you'll notice that a 10% service fee has already been added. If this is the case, no tip will be expected. I traveled alone in my 20s, as a single mother in my 30s, with my husband and daughter at 40, and now at 50 like an empty nest. So if you're wondering what things you should do (or not do) when you visit England for the first time, we've compiled (with the help of our Facebook community members) some tips to make sure you have a great time and avoid any mistakes along the way.
A 26 percent checklist from the Commonwealth Foreign Office to help Britons prepare to travel and stay safe abroad.

Find out my tips and the top things to know in my “Tips for first-time visitors to London” section.
In fact, I've lived and worked in London, so I have a lot of insider information and experience. In this blog, I share a lifetime of travel knowledge and experiences to help you travel around the world country (and travel by train) at the same time. On a positive note, the UK public transport system is quite good and I would recommend travelling by train if you can.
