You can also look at travel guides online or in bookstores to help you plan your trip.

2. Pick the right car for the job

If you are travelling to London in a car, you should pick a car with a high level of safety. You should pick a sedan or a minivan.

This will help you keep cool during the trip and avoid getting too hot. 

You should pick a car with a windscreen wiper and a digital speedometer. These are the most important safety features in a car.  You should also pick a car that has a digital radio.

4. Pack light

Anything else you don’t need? Anything that is heavy and could slow you down? Try to stay away from anything that you wouldn’t need while at home. So if you are bringing a laptop, think about whether you would need it while at home. Bring a travel charger instead if you would.
