Can you enter the UK before your visa is valid?

You must have your visa before you travel to the UK. You may also need a visa if you're 'transiting' or travelling through the UK, for example you're changing flights at a UK airport. If you need a visa, you'll need to show your airline or transport provider (your 'carrier') either: a valid visa.
