Budget
As the British had refused to join the euro zone, the currency in London was the British pound (£). London is one of the most expensive cities in the world. Your stay will not be cheap, even if you are economical. In addition, London offers so many temptations that it is often difficult to resist.
Health
In London, sanitary conditions are similar to those in France and hygiene is generally respected in the majority of establishments. Tap water is drinkable in London. European tourists will benefit, under the aegis of the National Health Service (English social security), from free treatment in the event of an accident or emergency, upon presentation of their passport or identity card. Social protection is provided by municipalities, sometimes jointly with NHS providers and local agencies. First check that the hospital or doctor is dependent on the NHS. Remember to bring your European health insurance card with you from your health insurance fund. This will facilitate care in the event of on-site care. European Union nationals can benefit from free care by being temporarily registered, by the doctor consulted, on the NHS register.
