Off to London

On AM your main BBC channels are 693, 882, and 909.

The principal TalkSport channels are 1053 and 1089.  They often talk 
sports but political and entertainment-world discussions get in there 
too.

Absolute Radio is a pop/rock music channel with high power synchro rigs 
on 1215 kHz and low power repeaters on a number of other channels.

There are numerous ethnic independent stations such as Sunrise Radio on 
1458 which runs programming mostly for people from India.

A few reports (actually from this side of the 'pond') give a bit of 
idea what you might hear of UK stations and other stuff skipping in 
from elsewhere in western Europe at night:

Well, the BBC has a number of channels on AM and FM, and there are
independent local stations as well, I believe.  I've no idea what you
can receive from the rest of Europe; and your ability to listen to
any of it will depend on what other languages you can understand.
