Given the “skill” consistently displayed to date, The other Bob may well have nailed it.

I'm leaving the US on March 29th and arriving in London on March 30th. I'll be sure to report on my trip on this forum. I didn't hesitate to go on the first day of Brexit (although I was looking at my work schedule and air fares when I made this decision) , so I wouldn't hesitate to go in June either.

I am a fairly positive and optimistic person. I expect that things will go,,,, well as they go. Whatever the outcome, I'm planning on a great trip and I won't let a little detail like Brexit keep me from enjoying it. No reason to live in fear of the unknown when there are plenty of real, known problems to worry about:)

The affect on US citizens might mostly be longer lines at passport control as EU citizens may be going through as well, not having the 'fast pass' lanes to use.

What might happen to food prices etc due to ( possible) tariffs is a question for those who have a fully functional crystal ball

Whatever the adverse affect might be, I do not think it would be so bad as to cancel a trip. Would you not drive from LA to SF because gas went up 15 cents a gallon? There might be some minor inconveniences for tourists, but the country is not going to grind to a stop

Should we delay the trip till there is a Brexit deal

No

Now you have my $0.02

It has been asked before, and the answer is still "Nobody knows". Parliament rejected the proposed withdrawal agreement, so we're back at square one.

In June, most of the major problems in case of no deal should (note should, not will) have been sorted out, but then again, nobody knows.

“Brexit means nothing to American travellers”.

Sorry, but a very naive comment, as there will be some fallout, albeit longer immigration queues, increased prices, hotel staff shortages etc etc.

It’s looking increasingly likely that the process will be delayed, as the end of March looms ever closer.

No one knows what will happen yet, especially the government, but the country will keep functioning, so don’t delay booking your trip, as June is a good time to visit.

As Joe said above, the best move is to consult your fully functioning crystal ball. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they are doing in government right now.

I believe the real chaos will ensue if there is a ‘no deal Brexit’ and we just storm out in a huff (as a sizeable number would like). However, I don’t think there’s any real appetite for that in government and it would be unlikely to get through Parliament, so some sort of deal is likely, but even this may be delayed while something that will get through Parliament is thrashed out. Then there’ll be a period of transition anyway, so hopefully, travel problems will be minimised.

I say, ‘hopefully’ because nobody really knows what will happen. Just be aware that we British see queueing as an art form already.....

No one knows what will happen but I imagine tourists to the UK will be affected far less by Brexit than tourists to the USA during current trump shutdown. This is only the transition deal not any future long term relationship with the EU - heaven help us when they start negotiations that!
