Exercise caution and monitor developments that might affect your safety in the United Kingdom because of the risk of terrorist attack.

Pay close attention to your personal security and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security threats.  

The United Kingdom remains a potential target for terrorist activity, with terrorist attacks occurring in 2005 and 2007.

UK authorities rate the threat level at 'Severe' which means that an attack is highly likely. Authorities are urging the public to be aware of the dangers of terrorism and to report suspicious behaviour.

Following incidents on 7 and 9 March 2009 in which two soldiers and a policeman were killed, there is renewed concern of possible dissident activity and sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.

The Australian government and Smart Traveller recommend appropriate insurance information if you are travelling overseas and to ensure that you are properly covered with comprehensive travel insurance. The cost of medical, dental and let alone the inconvenience of the lost luggage can ruin your holiday.
