The advisory warns that terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in the United Kingdom, which could occur with little or no warning. Potential targets include tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets, shopping malls, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, and major events such as concerts and sporting matches.
For those heading to Northern Ireland, be aware that political tensions may be heightened during the marching season from April through August, particularly around July 12. There is a risk of isolated violence by dissident groups in Northern Ireland, though this is primarily focused on police and military targets.
In addition to terrorism concerns, travelers should note that effective January 8, 2025, all US citizens transiting through or traveling to the United Kingdom for tourism, family visits, or business must comply with new entry requirements.
When it comes to getting around, remember that in the UK, vehicles drive on the left side of the road. Public transportation is widespread and easily accessible throughout the country, though in smaller cities it may take longer for medical assistance to arrive if needed.
For your safety, the State Department recommends registering your trip with the Smart Travel Enrollment Program (STEP), which will make it easier for you to be located in an emergency and provide you with relevant updates about weather and safety conditions.
The Canadian government also advises travelers to exercise a high degree of caution in the United Kingdom due to the threat of terrorism. Their national terrorism threat level is currently at level 3 ("substantial") on a scale of 5, while Northern Ireland specifically has a separate threat level of 4 ("severe").
Despite these concerns, the UK remains a popular destination, and by staying vigilant, following local authority directives, and having an emergency plan, you can help ensure a safer trip. Consider obtaining travel insurance and staying up to date on all vaccinations recommended by the CDC before your journey.
