Question
Hi-I am contemplating a trip to London in a few weeks and I need to know about pollen and allergies.  I have severe asthma and allergies and am afraid the dampness and pollen might cause problems...Any advice appreciated...thanks

Answer
hi there

i dont think you need worry unduly - London is no worse than any other city for pollution and unless you are here when the blossom is out theres not a lot of pollen - i would just make sure you have all your meds with you - you can alway use a mask as some Japanese tourists do...
