A warm welcome from Carmela
Welcome to London and to the start of your Britain and Ireland Panorama adventure! I'm absolutely delighted to have you with us. I'll be with you throughout this journey — please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions at all.
Your Addison Lee driver will be waiting for you in the terminal after you have collected your bags and cleared customs. Please look out for your driver — they will be standing to the side waiting for you.
If your driver is not there, please do not contact me — unfortunately I am unable to assist with any transfers. Please contact your booking agent directly on +44 207 620 8900.

Essentials
This is a trip where temperatures change very quickly. You will need to have a rain jacket, waterproof clothing, shoes with grip, warm hats, layers and sunglasses with you all the time. In the UK/Ireland it's best to dress like an onion. Be ready to peel off or put on more layers as the weather dictates. There is no such thing as bad weather in Great Britain, just bad clothing.
