You really need to check with your airline for size, weight and number restrictions on carry-on. For example BA allows one carry-on plus a laptop or handbag:

(but BA calls it "hand baggage" rather than "carry-on")
AA allows one carry-on, one personal item and a few other things (like book, bag of food, etc.):

I meant to add that you also want to check the rules at your departing airport. These can be different than what any airline allows. So if you are departing Heathrow, or Gatwick or Manchester or whatver find the airport website and their security rules. For example I think tighter rules may have been lifted now at both London airports but previously both Heathrow and Gatwick had security restrictions on carry-on that were different than the airlines had. Then Heathrow lifted those tighter restrictions but not until months later did Gatwick do the same.
