6 month visa for England...
I would like to live in England for up to six months as a tourist.
I would most likely need to apply for a tourist visa, but any personal experiences would be helpful. Thanks.

As stated above, it will depend on the discretion of the border agent. If not affiliated with a university or business, it might not be a bad idea to bring a statement on your finances from your bank. Being able to easily support yourself will be the main concern. That said, I'm certainly no expert. When I was in the U.K. for a year, it was through a university, and they provided the documents I needed.

They will ask among other things how long you are staying and when you are leaving the country/where from. Your answers will lead them to other questions . . . depending on your responses, they will then decide if they will let you in for that long.

having a return ticket would be helpful or one showing onward travel to Europe.
Also the names and addresses of people you would be staying with, or a hotel booking, plus bank statements showing that you can support yourself and travel insurance.

oh yes, while I think of it, evidence that you own your own home/car/etc back in the US and/or have a job/family there. I think that you'd be very unlucky to be asked all of that, but you never know.
