is there a thread/sub-forum on what to expect at interview?

[trandy 5]

Was just wondering if there was a place that gathers people's stories on the general process of interviewing?

There's little details that would be worth knowing, like apparently you have to get a locker to put your valuables in and such.

the review section is easily clickable when logged in on a PC. On a handphone or tablet? can't really rely on those, alas.

You do not need a locker for your valuables in London. There a few prohibited items like weapons, explosives....

See the prohibited things shown here http://photos.state.gov/libraries/unitedkingdom/164203/cons-visa/prohibited_items_2014.pdf

Just to note: the US Embassy in London does not allow mobile phones to be taken in.

The embassy in London ALLOWS mobile phones. That page is an old page. I gave you a link to the current security page. The policy change was first discussed in the UK forum in Feb 2014. This is a post with an email from London confirming the change.

Update to post #5 INTERVIEW DAY regarding checking your electronic items at Gould's Pharmacy
