There's truly no place like London. Even after several trips to England's storied capital, I still find myself pining for more. With the city's rich history, diverse food culture, elaborate architecture, and unmatched fashion offerings, London is a mecca for all types of travelers — whether you're a foodie, historian, or bonafide fashion girlie (I like to think I'm a little of all three).
Most recently, I was able to visit London, England by way of PrettyLittleThing, the UK-based fashion retailer known for its size-inclusive options and vast occasionwear category. The brand's headquarters are in Manchester — which is a short train ride away from London — but the label also has showrooms in other major cities. Unlike past trips, I got to embrace the city in its most quintessential form, with afternoon tea appointments, garden walks around Kensington Palace, and even a double-decker bus tour that offered a quick way to take in London's most iconic sights.
Now, with a couple visits under my belt, I'm confident that I've finally mastered the ultimate London packing list. From comfortable walking shoes and personal carry-on bags to editor-approved travel accessories and seasonal coats, there are a handful of items that can elevate your next long haul flight or trip abroad for the better. If you've ever wondered what to wear in London or what to pack for London, I've created a comprehensive guide that'll simplify planning for your next trip, that way you can focus your time on what really matters — keeping tabs on Royal Family sightings (duh!).
