TRANSPORT
Getting Around London
London’s public transport is excellent and the easiest way to get around. Here’s what you need to know.
The Tube
London’s Underground is your best friend. The nearest station to The Londoner is Leicester Square (Northern and Piccadilly Lines) — literally on the doorstep. Use a contactless credit or debit card to tap in and out.
Taxis & Rideshares
London’s iconic black cabs can be hailed on the street and are always an experience. Uber and Bolt work well here too. Note that central London traffic can be heavy, so the Tube is often faster for longer journeys.

Things to Do While You’re Here
You’ve come a long way — make the most of it! For those of you with extra time in London, a few ideas of what to do:
- Take a Walk — Stroll from Leicester Square through Trafalgar Square, down The Mall to Buckingham Palace, then through St James’s Park. One of the best walks in the city, and completely free.
- Museums & Galleries — The National Gallery (Trafalgar Square), British Museum (Bloomsbury), Tate Modern (Southbank), and Victoria & Albert Museum (South Kensington) are all free.
- Royal Fans – For the Royal Fans an opportunity to visit Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style, an exhibition featuring more than 300 items of the Queen’s fashion throughout her monarchy. Buy tickets in advance!
- Parliament Tour – Visit the Palace of Westminster, including the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Book tickets in advance.
- Markets — Borough Market (go hungry) and Portobello Road in Notting Hill (antiques and street food on Saturdays).
- Catch a Show — You’ll be in the heart of London’s theatre district. Check what’s on in the West End — TKTS in Leicester Square sells same-day discounted tickets.
- Day Trips — If you’re staying a few extra days, consider a train to Oxford or Cambridge (~1 hour), Bath (~1.5 hours), or the Cotswolds for rolling countryside and honey-stone villages. You can even take the Eurostar to Paris.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Practical Bits
Currency
The UK uses British Pounds (£), not euros. Almost everywhere accepts contactless card payments — you can easily go a whole trip without cash. If you do need cash, ATMs are plentiful.
Plugs & Power
The UK uses Type G plugs (three rectangular prongs). You’ll need an adapter — pick one up at the airport or bring one from home. Voltage is 230V, but most modern phone and laptop chargers handle this automatically.
Sadly, the voltage on a US bought Dyson airwrap will not work in the UK!
Weather in October
Expect temperatures between 8–15°C (46–59°F). October in London is crisp autumn — beautiful, but bring layers, a warm jacket, and an umbrella. You’ll want a coat for the evenings.
Tipping
Tipping in the UK is appreciated but not expected as it is in the US. 10–12.5% at restaurants is standard (many add a service charge already — check the bill). No need to tip at bars or in taxis, though rounding up is a kind gesture.
FAQs
Here’s a guide so you know what to expect — and what it all means.
What is the schedule for the wedding?
2.45pm Tisch – All men are welcome to the tisch.
3.30pm Chuppah – Everyone to be seated for the wedding ceremony.
The wedding ceremony will be followed by a drinks and canapé reception, followed by dinner and dancing.
What is a Tisch?
The tisch (Yiddish for “table”) is a lively, joyful gathering that takes place before the ceremony. Traditionally, the groom sits at a table surrounded by male guests, sharing words before the ceremony, singing, and — most importantly — enjoying drinks and snacks. It’s festive and raucous, full of singing and toasts. Think of it as a warm-up celebration before things get more formal.
The tisch is a male event, so ladies, please find your seats at the chuppah early!
What is a Chuppah?
The chuppah is the wedding canopy under which the ceremony takes place. It’s typically a cloth or tallit (prayer shawl) held up by four poles, open on all sides. The chuppah symbolises the home the couple will build together — open and welcoming to all. Both families usually stand beneath or near it plentiful. If you’re seated and wondering what that beautiful canopy is — now you know!
What is a Ketubah?
The ketubah is the Jewish marriage contract, an ancient tradition going back thousands of years. It is read aloud under the chuppah.
What are the Seven Blessings (Sheva Brachot)?
During the ceremony, seven blessings, reflecting the seven days of creation, — the sheva brachot — are recited over wine. These blessings celebrate themes of creation, joy, love, and community. The sheva brachot are repeated at the end of the festive meal.
Why does the groom break a glass?
Will the ceremony be in English?
The ceremony will include both English and Hebrew. Key moments, will be explained or translated so that all our guests can follow and feel part of the celebration.
What should I wear?
October evenings in London are cool, so a wrap or coat is a good idea. The venue will have a cloakroom.
There will be lots of dancing so plan your shoes accordingly (or bring a spare pair!)
Kippahs (yarmulkes) will be provided.
