As it stands, today, no you can't. England runs a Green, Amber, Red classification for arrival from overseas. At the moment, any country you have been to in the last 10 days has to be on the Green list to avoid some form of quarantine. USA is currently on the Amber list so if you leave the airport you will have to have a test and then isolate in a place of your choosing for 10 days. Also more tests required during that period. This is the UK government page that provides the rules and regulations... https://www.gov.uk/guidance/red-amber-and-green-list-rules-for-entering-england . Will the rules have changed by the time of Spa (I've always wanted to see the Spa GP but haven't yet made it!), probably. Keep an eye on the web page for updated info.

A LONG, LONG time ago, way pre-Covid, we spent a day in London, during a connection time for our flight to South Africa. Took the double-decker bus, everything. It was well worth it. Maybe times like that will come again..

So, glad I searched here. We too, have a 12 hour layover in London on our way to South Africa. From researching tours etc, timing is iffy to get to and from airport. I came to conclusion double decker hop on hop off may be our best bet to see as much of London as we can. Did you just hail a cab from the airport or arrange special transport to and from?

Diane--we got a day room at a hotel by the airport and their concierge helped us out with getting onto the double decker bus. I think we took the train but not sure. I'm glad we did it, as I don't know when/if we will get back there. Enjoy!
