Borough Market for world-class food stalls (Monmouth Coffee, Kappacasein grilled cheese). Brick Lane for curry. Dishoom for Indian breakfast. Flat White in Soho for coffee culture. Sunday roast at a proper London pub. Fish and chips from Poppies in Spitalfields.
Do I need a visa to visit London for the fight?+
US, Canadian, Australian, and EU citizens can visit the UK visa-free for up to 6 months. However, note that since Brexit, EU nationals need a valid passport (not just ID card).
