Make sure you get your Indian visa as early as possible as the Indian embassy in London has recently been having difficulties in processing applications.

My friend had to take two days off work to get his visa in person. I think they're now taking postal applications again.

If it's raining and you need a cheap umbrella, just go to London Transport's lost property office at Baker Street station and say you left a black umbrella on the tube. They just hand you a replacement one. And they have hundreds of black umbrellas to choose from.

At weekends you can upgrade to first class on Eurostar for less than the cost of the meal and drink they serve you for free!

Tell all tourists to buy an Oyster Card rather than letting Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, rip them off!

Travelling by train to Europe has been very difficult for people living in the North. Combining a cheap ticket to London with a cheap Eurostar ticket is not easy. If you can only get a value ticket to London one-way, use Virgin Trains who now sell half-savers for flexible one-way travel.
