Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, so therefore you theoretically wouldn't need a passport to travel there from London. Also, there existed a Common Travel Area between the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The Republic has imposed immigration controls since 1997 though, and the UK is going to do the same thing for travellers from the Republic next year. To get around that of course, all you'd need to do is land in Belfast and drive over the border. However, since the 11th of September, 2001, airport security throughout the country has tightened. Most airports require photographic ID - preferably a passport. Travelling across on the ferry should be easier, but from London, maybe not so much! Your best bet is to phone up Heathrow and ask them. Remember: in Northern Ireland we use sterling; in the Republic of Ireland they use the Euro.

You don't need a passport but you may need photo Id. I travel to Ireland a lot from London to visit family.

It is known that an European Union citizen can travel to another country under European Union and since you reside in London, I don't think you need a passport to travel to Ireland. Probably you need an acceptable form of national dentity of your country.

If your British or Irish you don't need a passport. At least you didn't need one when i went last year, although it is still a good idea to bring one. I'm 30 and Ive never owned a passport!!!!!!!!!!

'Dick' is well named with that answer.
You don't need a passport to travel to any part of the UK.
