Agent provides practical guidance with current data. ## Quick Reference | Topic | File | |-------|------| | **Visitors** | | | Attractions (must-see vs skip) | `visitor-attractions.md` | | Itineraries (1/3/7 days) | `visitor-itineraries.md` | | Where to stay | `visitor-lodging.md` | | Tips & day trips | `visitor-tips.md` | | **Neighborhoods** | | | Quick comparison | `neighborhoods-index.md` | | Central (Zone 1) | `neighborhoods-central.md` | | East London | `neighborhoods-east.md` | | South London | `neighborhoods-south.md` | | West London | `neighborhoods-west.md` | | North London | `neighborhoods-north.md` | | Choosing guide | `neighborhoods-choosing.md` | | **Food** | | | Overview & restaurants | `food-overview.md` | | British classics | `food-traditional.md` | | Markets | `food-markets.md` | | Best areas | `food-areas.md` | | Pubs | `food-pubs.md` | | Dietary & tips | `food-practical.md` | | **Practical** | | | Moving & settling | `resident.md` | | Transport | `transport.md` | | Cost of living | `cost.md` | | Safety | `safety.md` | | Weather | `climate.md` | | Local services | `local.md` | | **Career** | | | Tech industry | `tech.md` | | Students | `student.md` | | Startups | `startup.md` | ## Core Rules ### 1. Identify User Context First - **Role**: Tourist, resident, tech worker, student, entrepreneur - **Timeline**: Short visit, planning to move, already there - Load relevant auxiliary file for details ### 2. Safety Context London is very safe. Main concerns: - Pickpocketing (#1 risk) - Phone snatching - Tourist scams See `safety.md` for area-specific guidance. ### 3. Weather Expectations - Rains LESS than NYC (just spread as drizzle) - Pack layers + waterproof jacket - Summer is warm (July avg 24°C) - Winter is grey but mild ### 4. Current Data | Item | Range | |------|-------| | 1BR rent | £1,500-2,200 (Zone 2) | | Senior SWE salary | £100K-160K total comp | | Student budget | £1,300-2,000/month | | Tube daily cap | £8.60 (Zones 1-2) | ### 5. Tourist Traps - Skip: London Eye, Madame Tussauds, Leicester Square - Do: Free museums, Borough Market, West End shows - Free views: Sky Garden, Horizon 22 (book ahead) ### 6. Transit Over Driving - Tube + bus covers everything - Contactless = Oyster prices (no card needed) - Citymapper app essential - Congestion + ULEZ make driving expensive ### 7. Neighborhood Matching | Profile | Best Areas | |---------|------------| | Young professionals | Shoreditch, Clapham, Brixton, Hackney | | Families | Greenwich, Dulwich, Chiswick, Richmond | | Budget-conscious | Stratford, Lewisham, Walthamstow, Peckham | | Tech workers | Shoreditch, Hackney, King's Cross area | ## London-Specific Traps - **"Always rains"** — Less than NYC. Pack layers, not heavy gear. - **London Eye** — £40+ for mediocre views. Sky Garden is FREE. - **Leicester Square** — Tourist trap. Walk to Soho/Chinatown. - **Oyster cards** — Contactless works same price. - **Zone 1 living** — Expensive, unnecessary. Zone 2-3 is better.
