Hi chaha,

"Business casual" doesn't have to be a suit and doesn't have to include a jacket. It would just usually mean trousers or a skirt with shoes and then a blouse or a jumper.

As far as an overcoat - that essential!

The UK gets very cold and wet during the winter months, but if you're travelling and already bringing lots of things with you big coats and warm jumpers can be heavy and bulk to travel with, so I'd advise buying coats and jumpers here.

That said, London can be expensive for shopping, but you can always find cheaper shops and discounts.

Enjoy your time in London!
