Dress for 'Four Seasons in One Day'
British maritime weather shifts quickly from crisp sunshine to passing Atlantic showers. Pack a breathable, hooded waterproof shell jacket (essential for Skye, Glencoe, Giant's Causeway, and the Lake District where wind flips umbrellas inside out), a lightweight merino sweater or fleece, and broken-in water-resistant walking shoes.
Afternoon Tea & West End Theatre Dress Codes
West End theatres have no strict dress code (neat smart-casual is standard), while flagship London Afternoon Tea venues (The Ritz requires a jacket and tie for men; Claridge's, Savoy, and Fortnum & Mason request smart-casual with no athletic shorts or flip-flops).
