Is u.k visa required if traveling from India to hamburg via u.k,where i already have schengan visa.?

Answer 1

no, you can transfer within Heathrow without going through customs.

Answer 2

So your question is if you are allowed to have a stopover in UK while travelling to Germany, right ? - Unfortunately you have to stay in the transit area of the airport since you do not have an entry Visa for UK. The Schengen Visa just allows you to travel free in the countries of the Schengen treaty which include: Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Luxemburg, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Slowenia and Slovakia. Switzerland and Norway did not sign the treaty but do accept Schengen Visas for travel. - UK is not part of the Schengen Aerea.
