Good to know
A few things that make the weekend easier for everyone.
London in December is cold and damp, usually around 3 to 9°C, and dark before 4pm. Coat, scarf, gloves.
Saturday is a lot of walking between shops, and Sunday is sightseeing on foot.
Pack something to dress up in for the birthday dinner and the club.
Clubs in London check ID at the door. A passport or photo ID card does the job.
No tickets needed on the Tube or buses: tap in and out with a contactless card or your phone.
Most visitors, including travellers from Europe and the USA, need a UK ETA before the trip. Apply early.
