Going to London? Here’s What’s Worth Packing, Including an $8 Purse

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 roomy personal carry-on bags to editor-approved travel accessories and seasonal coats, there are a handful of items that can elevate your next 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 the royal family (duh!).
