I visit family in the UK every other year... You'll need your passport and driver's license if you plan on renting a car. It's a good idea to make photocopies of both of these leaving a set of copies with a family member or trusted friend here in the states and another photocopy in your baggage. I usually black out the actual passport and driver's license numbers on the copy that I put in my bag... I do it so that if my luggage gets lost they'll see that I have ID in there and the airline can look up my info.
And that one guy is right... bring A LOT of money... one pound is more than 2 dollars US.
If you're staying for an extended period you'll need to make sure you obtain the proper visa/permit.
Happy travels!

You should be ok but bring proof of where your staying who your staying with and contact numbers for them (and your hotel) a return ticket is also a plus. Also make sure that you have nothing that is suspisious on you like documents of trying to get a job. But if your here on a holiday chances are you wont get stopped unless you look like a terrorist. Oh an the obvious one is your passport! dont forget that!

Little documents called pound notes, lots of them. Because everything is so fu**ing expensive here dude! Just passport. You might need a visa if your staying for a while. Check with the travel firm!

Just passport I think. They probably wont even check it.
Havn't you heard we let anyone in. Tourists are welcome its the other people who dont go home that are the problem.
Enjoy your stay.
Oh yes, you cant bring any liquids or cosmetics in hand luggage, or sharp objrcts such as scissors etc.

You need a Canadian flag. Sew it onto your backpack or something - people will be much nicer to you!
