This is London calling !
To call London from outside the UK you have to dial the international
access code for your country (eg US is apparently 011) followed by the
code for the country, which is 44 for the UK, followed by 171 for central
London or 181 for the leafy suburbs, and then a seven digit number. If you
have the misfortune to already been in this land of chips and vinegar, you
can just dial 0171 or 0181 respectively.
Hope that makes things a bit clearer ! (I work as a part-time telephone
operator, whilst finishing a thesis on German-Jewish literature !)
