Hello VJ friends, I am planning to travel to London, UK,  this summer with wife (newly LPR). Any advice as far as the Dos and Don’ts? Want to attend one of the Chelsea’s soccer  game . Closest airport to the Stamford bridge locate in Fulham? What is your recommendation as far as travel requirements to UK (visas if needed), lodging, transportation (best airlines, cabs...), attractions in London city?

Thank you

Football season is about over so you will be lucky to find a Chelsea match this summer. If you find one, take the Tube (subway, underground). because Stamford Bridge is close to central London. The line will depend on where you are staying…what part of London.  Google maps can help or apps on your phone.
 

When we are in London, we use the Tube to get to all the sights. Plan to walk a lot because many things are close together. Use a website to start learning about sights and how to get around. There are too many options to explain.

Something like this could help you https://www.visitlondon.com/traveller-information/getting-around-london


Here’s some apps that are useful https://www.visitlondon.com/traveller-information/getting-around-london/london-maps-and-guides/apps

 

Tips—-Look right when you start to cross the street. Americans tend to look left.
