Im a GC Holder traveling via London with an overnight layover. So obviously I need to leave the airport. I know that you dont need a visa if you are staying inside the airport but i was not able to find anything that talks about getting a transit visa to leave the airport. I can only assume that I do need transit visa, and if so, can i get that at the airport??? Please assist with getting this clarified for me.

Thanks all!

Here is a link from the British Government explaining Transit requirements:

It appears as though you will be exempt as long as you do not stay longer than 48 hours with a valid Green Card
