    Things to Look Out For

    field notes
    1

    Tap in, tap out

    Don't queue for paper tickets. A contactless card or your phone works as an Oyster on every Tube, bus, Overground and most trains in the city, and the daily fare is capped automatically so you never overpay. Stand on the right of the escalator; walk on the left, or a Londoner will tell you about it.

    2

    Four seasons before lunch

    British weather is not a national myth. It genuinely turns from sun to cloudburst and back within an hour, in any month. Carry a small umbrella and a layer even on a clear June morning, and don't cancel the open-top bus over a grey forecast. The rain usually passes; the locals just carry on.

    3

    The pub is the village hall

    You order and pay at the bar, not at the table, no one will come to take your order. And you don't tip the bartender. Sunday lunch is the roast, booked out by one o'clock in the good ones. The pub is where Britain actually socialises; treat it as the living room, not just a bar.

    Plan Your Timing

    When to Go

    Britain runs on light more than heat. The window is May to September, when the days stretch past nine in the evening, the parks fill, and the gardens are at their best. June and July the warmest and busiest. April and October are quieter shoulder months with sharper light and thinner crowds. November to February is short, grey and damp, with the city lit early for Christmas; it rarely freezes hard, but it rarely clears either.

    Your Memoir

    Here's how you'll remember it.

    Changing — London, UK

    Day 3. Changing of the guard

    Day3
    ✦ Memoir

    We staked out the railings at Buckingham Palace early for the changing of the guard. The bearskins, the band, the whole stiff theatre of it. Then walked it off through St James's Park.

    London01
    Honey stone Cotswold — Cotswolds, UK

    Day 5. Honey-stone Cotswold villages

    Day5
    ✦ Memoir

    The day out to Oxford and the Cotswolds was the quiet highlight. The colleges' golden quads, then villages of honey-coloured stone where the pub lunch ran long and nobody hurried us back.

    Cotswolds02
    Loch Ness, UK

    Day 8. The loch with no monster

    Day8
    ✦ Memoir

    The Highlands run bare and enormous past the window, and Loch Ness at the end of it was black and still. No monster, of course, but the glen had the kind of emptiness that explains the legends.

    Loch Ness03
    Glasgow other accent — Glasgow, UK

    Day 9. Glasgow's other accent

    Day9
    ✦ Memoir

    Glasgow to finish, an hour from Edinburgh and a different city entirely. Victorian sandstone, the Mackintosh lines, an accent that took me a day to tune into and a warmth that didn't.
