Can I get into the UK with a oneway ticket from the US BUT I have a ticket to Rome from there?

Question

I am flying into London on July 1st but I only have a one way ticket. I'm going to be going to Rome until January 31st when I'll be going BACK to London for my friends wedding so I got a roundtrip ticket from London to Rome. Will I have any problems going to London for a visit for a week if my ticket out is also a ticket back in even though it's not until January?

Answer 1

This could be a tricky one. I've seen so many people sitting near the passport control desks waiting to be interviewed when coming back into the UK. Entry into the UK is very tough these days. I wouldn't be risking it - I'd be getting another ticket out of the country, even if its just a cheap Ryanair ticket that I don't plan on actually using.
