Once you arrive at your destination airport on the route from Luxembourg to London, you will need to clear border security. Travellers with microchipped EU passports are able to move quickly through Passport Control by using the e-passport gates. Passengers who are under 18 or hold non-EU passports must see a border patrol agent before entering the U.K. Be sure that your passport will not expire during your visit and ensure that you have all necessary paperwork ready, such as a visa or landing card.

Trains to London's city centre are available at all of the destination airports. They will transport you directly to the heart of the city's rail system. Tickets are available for purchase online beforehand as you plan your trip but can also be booked once you arrive. Taxi service from the airport is also available but costlier than the rail system.

A Bit Warmer and a Lot More Expensive

London is one hour behind Luxembourg's time zone, so make sure to adjust for this in your travel planning. London is warmer than Luxembourg by an average of 2.5°C. However, it has far fewer hours of sunshine on average each day. In June, for example, London averages 8 daily sunshine hours compared to Luxembourg's 14 hours.

London has a reputation as an expensive city, and cost comparisons between London and Luxembourg clearly demonstrate this. Hotels at all price tiers will run double the cost of similar hotels in Luxembourg, while taxi fares are 50 percent more expensive in London. A long-term transport ticket in London will cost nearly six times what it does in Luxembourg. However, the UK capital does offer bike sharing systems, which can be a great way to get to know the city on a budget.

While in London, be sure to visit the most popular attractions, such as Buckingham Palace, the London Eye observation wheel and the Tower of London with its famous jewels.
