Travel Advice - United Kingdom

travmedia.com: "Australians in the United Kingdom are advised to be alert to their own security. As you would in Australia, use common sense and be alert to suspicious activities.

Australians who are concerned for family and friends in London are encouraged to try to contact them directly in the first instance. If you are unable to make contact, you can call the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on 1800 002 214 for assistance.

We encourage all Australians in the UK to notify the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade that they are safe via email - london@dfat.gov.au. People who have contacted DFAT via phone to enquire about the whereabouts and welfare of Australian relatives and friends in the UK are encouraged to email london@dfat.gov.au to notify us if they have subsequently confirmed their safety.

The British government Civil Contingencies Secretariat and the Home Office provides advice on public safety issues."
