Destination: LHR
Book flights to Heathrow (LHR) for the simplest Tube transfer to Angel; Accra (ACC) has direct services to London. If you need a UK Standard Visitor visa, apply early and choose a flexible fare. October fares can rise around school half-term, so compare a 6-10 week booking window and check baggage allowances before paying.

Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Check the GOV.UK visa requirements list for your nationality. The Standard Visitor route permits meetings, conferences and trade-fair attendance but not paid work in the UK.
