carry things too much - you will buy more things while you
are in the UK
Make sure that every bag is labeled with a contact address and
telephone number both in the UK and in your home country (in
case it is lost), but be careful that the address cannot be seen
easily.
Make a list of what you have packed in each bag (in case it is
lost), as well as a list of important numbers (passport number,
insurance number, traveler's cheque's numbers, credit card
number) and contact addresses and telephone numbers.
Expect that your bag will be opened for inspection, so evaluate
whether an object could be scrutinized by airport security. Cooperate with the security personnel. Do not go into any argument
mode with them.
Avoid extra luggage as you might have to pay to Airlines for Extra
