Visiting during late spring or early summer is ideal for seeing the royal parks in bloom. Alternatively, December offers a festive atmosphere with traditional markets and skating rinks across the capital.

When departing on flights from Munich to London, you will travel through Munich International Airport (MUC), also known as Franz Josef Strauss International Airport. As Germany's second busiest aviation hub, it features two main terminals. Terminal 1 handles most non-Star Alliance carriers, while Terminal 2 is the dedicated home for Lufthansa and its partners. Moving between terminals is easy via the Munich Airport Centre (MAC), an outdoor atrium with shops and services.

To reach the airport from central Munich, take the S1 or S8 S-Bahn lines from Marienplatz. The journey takes about 40 minutes, with trains running every 10 minutes. Once at the terminal, you can access a wide range of amenities including rest areas and a variety of Bavarian and international dining options before your flight.

Your arrival in London will likely be at one of the city's major airports. From Heathrow Airport (LHR), the Heathrow Express reaches Paddington Station in 15 minutes, while the Elizabeth Line and the Piccadilly Line offer slower but more cost-effective routes into central London. If you land at Gatwick Airport (LGW), the Gatwick Express or Southern and Thameslink trains provide direct links to Victoria or London Bridge in roughly 30 minutes.

For those landing at London City Airport (LCY), the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) connects you to the financial district and the wider Underground network in under 25 minutes. Taxis and private hire vehicles are available at designated ranks outside every terminal. If you plan to explore beyond the capital, car hire in London is available at all arrival points.

Entry requirements for London

Travellers flying from Germany to the United Kingdom must present a valid passport for the duration of their stay. Since the UK is no longer part of the EU or the Schengen Area, German citizens do not require a visa for short-term tourism or business trips but should ensure their passport is valid before departure.

Upon landing, you will pass through border control. While eGates are available for holders of biometric passports to speed up entry, travellers should be prepared to answer basic questions about the purpose and length of their visit.

London is a global hub where historic pubs stand alongside a world-class modern skyline. Visit the Tower of London to view the Crown Jewels or board the London Eye for panoramic views across the River Thames towards Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

The West End offers world-renowned theatre and musicals, while the British Museum and Hyde Park provide cultural and green spaces to explore throughout the year.
