<body>
<p> Clothing: Fall and winter clothing is needed from about
September through April; spring and summer clothing is useful
the rest of the year.
</p>
<p> Health: Good medical facilities are available. Living
conditions are generally excellent, with no unusual health
hazards.
</p>
<p> Telecommunications: London and nearly all U.K. localities
have an automatic dial-through telephone system. Cities in the
United States and Western Europe also may be reached by
direct-dialing. Internal and international services are
efficient. London is five time zones ahead of eastern standard
time.
</p>
<p> Transportation: The United Kingdom is a crossroads for
international aviation and shipping and also is accessible by
highway and train from points throughout Europe. Rail, air, and
bus transportation in the United Kingdom is excellent, and
travel between all points is quick and easy. Rental cars are
available. Traffic moves on the left.
