Probably too late now but you'd be fine with the leathernan. Main rule is that you need a reason to have it if you're in public. Having it in your baggage as you travel to the hotel I'd have thought would be acceptable. Just don't go wandering the streets with it in your pocket, if you were searched you'd be in bother.

I'll echo the sentiment of as long as you have a reason (self defense doesn't count) you're good to go. I will say that I've never been searched by law enforcement in London but any high traffic area like the London eye, aquariums and most museums etc. will have security searching bags and people for weapons. Being an American, they usually shake their head in disapproval and give it back when I'm leaving. YMMV.

Leatherman, Gerber and other multitools are all sold in the UK. He should have no problem having a tool of his trade with him. |

Not a good idea to have a Leatherman on your person unless you can justify it with a good legal reason, you'd be in possession of what they call a "offensive weapon." In the UK, only the Govt. through the police, and armed forces, plus the criminal classes have the monopoly on the use of force.

Gave him the leatherman sidekick. Coudn't find any w/out locking blades so I hope that will not be an issue...
He wasn't concerned w/ carrying it, but is a bit concerned w/ getting it off the plane. We will see what happens. |

We will see what happens. The original PST was non-locking, and can frequently be found for fairly affordable prices on eBay and such. The current Kick is non-locking as well. |
