Probably easier for you to find a reputable agent in the country of origin (once you have found that!) and go through them seeing as though you are in Europe already.

Once in London just get a Ryanair or easyjet flight to Poland where you can start there. Hostels in Krakow are like £5 a night and its really cheap there anyway (for food and drink).

This may seem a lot of work, but for the price of flying LAX to LHR, you could get to see another country and still save money!!!

Hope it helps.

What are the 2 airlines flying the YYZ-LGW route?

Air Transat (TS) and Zoom Airlines (Z4) - never heard of the latter one!

Another one is www.canadianaffair.com - not really an airline, their flights between U.K. and Canada are operated by MyTravel and Thomas Cook.

A cheap RTW in eco ex LON is the Great Escapade on SQ/NZ/VS www.thegreatescapade.com
