Getting into and staying the UK for 6 months or less as an American
Upvote:2
Before last year we would say that you should expect a lot of scrutiny at the border if you arrive without a return ticket and say you want to stay for the maximum allowable time, but if you can prove your finances are such that you do not need to work while in the UK (or, preferably, ever again in your life) and you can support yourself, then you would probably be OK.
These days you'll just swipe through the ePassport gates and you're unlikely to speak to immigration at all, but there is a small chance that the gates will kick you out to see a human being. In that case, the above applies.
