BEST OF LONDON WINTER PROGRAMMES

Angloville does not offer visa guidance or support for participants. We strongly recommend that you verify the entry requirements for the territory by consulting your official government authorities or contacting the embassy in the UK directly. It is important to ensure that you meet all necessary visa and entry conditions before making travel arrangements. 

Entry requirements may change, so we recommend checking the UK government’s official website. 

• You can find information about visiting the UK as a standard visitor here.
• You can find information about the electronic travel authorisation (ETA) here.

Angloville advises International Participants to arrive 1 day in the London before the programme starts. To arrive at the meeting city, we recommend: www.skyscanner.com to look for some good flight deals. Budget airlines within Europe (Wizz air and Ryanair) do have some great deals for the upcoming months, with fares starting from £30!

You can book your return flight for the last day of the programme, but make sure you will be flying from the departure city, not earlier than 23:00. Generally, our participants prefer to book their return flight the day after the programme to enjoy a good night’s sleep before flying.

We will include all the important information in an info-pack (2-3 weeks before the programme starts).

We recommend you to arrive 1 day before the programme starts, which means you will have to book the accommodation yourself. Angloville only provides the accommodation for the duration of the programme. If you decide to complete a multiple-week package with Angloville, booking the accommodation between the programmes will also be your responsibility.

We suggest Couchsurfing (for a free accommodation), HostelWorld and Booking.com (for a bed in a dorm or a cheap hotel deal), or AirBnB (for a private room or a flat to share).

Packing for a trip to the UK can be a bit tricky, as the weather can be quite unpredictable.

Winter programmes

Ensure you pack warm clothing like thick sweaters, thermal tops, and long-sleeve shirts for layering and added warmth. Don’t overlook a good quality winter coat or jacket, and consider waterproof outerwear to stay dry during wet weather. Winter accessories are a must, so remember to include scarves, gloves, and a hat or beanie for extra coziness and protection from the cold. Don’t forget to bring a daypack or bag to carry your essentials while exploring the city. And of course, pack an umbrella as London often experiences frequent rain, making a compact umbrella essential for your trip.

Summer programmes

Generally speaking, you should pack for both warm and cool weather. T-shirts, tank tops, and blouses are great for warmer days, but bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. The UK is known for its frequent rain, so it’s always a good idea to bring a waterproof jacket or umbrella. There’s a lot to explore during our programme, so bring comfortable shoes that you can walk in all day.

Important

Don’t forget to pack all the essentials like your passport, travel insurance, and any other necessary travel documents. Also, it’s a good idea to have some cash and credit cards for shopping, snacks, and other extra activities. If you’re coming from a country with a different type of electrical outlet, you’ll need to bring an adapter plug to charge your devices.
