Arriving in the UK
Immigration
You should have no problems going through the immigration controls, but if you do it is your right to speak to the office of the UKIAS (United Kingdom Immigration Advisory Service), where you can get advice and help.
Passport Control
Select the correct queue – EU or non-EU.
The immigration officer will check all your documents – carry all your TASMAC papers and letters in your hand luggage.
The immigration officer will stamp the visa page of your passport. The visa sticker (‘vignette’) tells you how long you can stay, whether you have permission to work and whether you must register with the police. If you do need to register with the police, TASMAC Student Services will help and advise you about the process.
Do not challenge the immigration officer’s decision but make a note of what they say.
Student Services will help you with any problems when you arrive at TASMAC London.
Damaged luggage
Report any damaged luggage to the appropriate authorities in the airport terminal. If you have insurance you will be able to claim for this. Once you have reported the damage, leave the baggage hall.
Lost luggage
Wait until the entire luggage load has been taken off the plane. If your luggage is not there, do not panic but report this to the authorities in the baggage hall. Do not stay in the baggage hall once you have reported your lost luggage. Come out and continue your journey. If you are using the meet and greet service at Heathrow Airport, someone will be waiting for you in the arrivals lounge holding a placard with your name on.
European Union currency controls
If you are entering the UK from a non-European Union (EU) country and are carrying 10,000 Euros or more (or the equivalent in other currencies) you must declare the cash to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at the place of your arrival in the UK. If you fail to declare any cash, travellers’ cheques or bank drafts that you are carrying, or if you provide incorrect or incomplete information, you could receive a fine of up to £5000. You must use the C9011 form to make the cash declaration. Forms are available at ports and airports and also from the HMRC website. Visit www.hmrc.gov.uk/allforms and go to ‘Travel Forms’ to download a copy. If you are travelling between another EU country and the UK, you do not have to make a declaration.
Travelling to London from the airport
Once you have completed your journey through immigration control and customs, you will want to make your way to the place you will be staying. Travelling in London is very easy as London has a very good bus, train and underground (tube) train system. We recommend that you study the tube map carefully, working out where you are going to and then plan your route, using the information provided.

Don't worry about asking people for information or for directions – look for signs at the airport. You will probably have to take a black cab (taxi) for part of the journey.
Travelling to central London from Heathrow Airport
If you are coming in to central London from Heathrow you have the option of travelling by tube train, bus or rail links. By tube, take the Piccadilly line (blue) into central London. By bus to either Victoria train station, Russell Square or Kings Cross. By rail link, you can catch the Heathrow Express or Heathrow Connect into Paddington train Station. The cost and ease of travel is variable but the rail link takes 15 minutes and costs about £10. The bus and tube take longer but cost less. The airport website provides lots of useful information. www.heathrow-airport-guide.co.uk

To get a black cab (taxi) from Heathrow to central London, takes 45 minutes-60 minutes and costs over £35.
Travelling to central London from Gatwick Airport
If you are coming to central London via Gatwick airport, you can take the Gatwick Express train or the coach/bus. By train a single costs around £10 and takes 30 minutes to reach Victoria Coach Station. The airport website provides lots of useful information. www.gatwick-airport-guide.co.uk

To get a black cab (taxi) from Gatwick to central London, takes 60-75 minutes and costs around £65.
Meet and Greet Service
TASMAC London provides a meet and greet service from all London Airports. Someone will meet you at the airport and a taxi will take you to your arranged accommodation. A driver will hold a sign with your name on it. He will wait next to the information desk at Heathrow terminal 1,2,3,4 and next to “Costa Coffee” at terminal 5. Pickups MUST be paid for in advance via bank transfer and cost £50.
Your first night in London
Before you travel, you must book some accommodation for your first night in London. If you arrive in London without accommodation you will have to stay in a hotel. Hotels in the UK are expensive, but if you do need information on where to stay, contact TASMAC Student Services.
Your first week at TASMAC London.
The semester begins on 5th October. You should plan to arrive in London at least 3 days before the start of term. This will allow you some time to start searching for accommodation, help you settle in and adjust to your new surroundings.
