Everything European Travellers Should Know for a Smooth British Getaway
As featured in:
The United Kingdom, a land where ancient history meets modern charm. You could be tracing the footsteps of literary greats in the Lake District or plunging 160 feet toward the River Tees on a bungee jump, before the cord pulls you back to reality. The United Kingdom truly offers something for every European nomad. Whether your flavour is the buzzing urban streets of London or skydiving over Salisbury Plain, mishaps can happen - having travel insurance as your trusty travel sidekick could be a brilliant idea.
With World Nomads, you can select either the Standard Plan for basic travel protection or the Explorer Plan for broader coverage.
Both plans offer coverage for:
Overseas emergency medical: Whether it’s a tumble on a Welsh mountain or a sudden fever in London, World Nomads has your back (literally). Our coverage includes up to €5,000,000 on the Standard Plan and €10,000,000 on the Explorer Plan for emergency medical treatment such as surgery, hospital charges, outpatient care, prescribed medicines, and even physiotherapy when required in a hospital setting (as specified in the policy wordings).
Baggage Protection: Lost your bag in the hustle of Heathrow or had your gear swiped in a packed London Tube station? It happens. World Nomads travel insurance covers European travellers for lost, stolen, or damaged baggage up to policy limits. The Standard Plan provides up to €1,500 in total coverage, while the Explorer Plan offers a more generous limit of €3,000. Baggage delay coverage starts at 24+ hours.
24/7 Emergency Medical Assistance: Emergencies don’t wait, and neither do we. World Nomads’ 24/7 Emergency Medical Assistance Team is on standby to help connect European travellers to medical care, overcome language barriers, or coordinate an urgent evacuation.

It’s no surprise that Europeans are drawn to the United Kingdom - its constant buzz of excitement pulls thrill-seeking travellers in from all over. But Mother Nature has a way of showing her mood swings, with sudden rainstorms and gusty winds always ready to make an entrance. Travel disruptions can be a real pain, especially when navigating busy transport hubs like Heathrow or London Euston. Thankfully, World Nomads offers cover for unexpected delays and cancellations. So, whether it’s unpredictable weather, strikes, or missed connections throwing off your plans, you can recover non-refundable costs and keep your adventure on track.
Look, we know from experience that flight delays are frustrating. But we also know that food makes frustrations a little less stressful. Right? If your flight is held up, we’ll take the edge off by giving you access to the airport lounge, with complimentary drinks and snacks. Please remember to register your flight details at least 24 hours before departure to avail of the service.
Travellers tip: The United Kingdom’s major cities, like London, can have busy rush hours, so consider travelling outside peak times or using apps to navigate public transport efficiently.
The United Kingdom ’s landscapes are made for adventure, and we cover 150+ sports and activities to match. Planning to hike the dramatic trails of the Lake District, or cycle through the rugged Scottish Highlands? We’ve got you covered (up to policy limits, of course). Planning something more adventurous, like mountaineering or rowing on the Thames? Make sure to specify high-risk activities in your policy for complete coverage.
Left home without your prescription? No worries. With Air Doctor, you can connect with a doctor anywhere in the world for basic healthcare needs. Instead of waiting hours in an Emergency Room, you can have your prescription sent directly to a local chemist for pickup or get treated for non-urgent issues quickly and conveniently. That way, you can get on with exploring the United Kingdom.
Travellers tip: most places in the United Kingdom, from public transport to cafés, accept contactless card payments or mobile wallets – it's an easy way to pay and often quicker than cash. Just make sure you notify your bank before you leave the EU.
