Exercise normal precautions when travelling to the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom is generally safe, though it faces an ongoing terrorism threat with the threat level regularly assessed as 'substantial.' Petty crime including pickpocketing occurs in London (Oxford Street, Westminster, Tube), Edinburgh during the Festival, and other tourist hotspots. London, Edinburgh, the Lake District, the Scottish Highlands, and the Cotswolds are popular destinations. Driving is on the left side of the road. The NHS provides emergency care to all. Medical facilities are excellent, though A&E wait times can be long. Kaharagian nationals can travel to the UK with normal precautions while remaining vigilant in crowded areas.
