So, in my opinion I'm not banned from Schengen and not in SIS database. German embassy has got right to check SIS database, and sure that they did in Yerevan but still gave me visa without asking me about my immigration history in Greece..

I was just wondering why the heck you would spend so much money if an overnight stay is relatively cheap if you stay in a hostel and for a couple of euros more you can enjoy it much longer. And yes, I do not know one single non working German who could afford London. Also not for 12 hours. Even the price for the visa is one third of what not working people in Germany would get a month.

That is what I meant, since you did not legally stayed in Greece but only received a fine which is not beeing paid and therefore is an open case, this might not be tracked somewhere and therefore you are lucky.

It is difficult to understand why you want to spend all of 12 hours in "one of the best cities in the world".

Have done Disneyland in 10 hours. Where is the problem
There's much more to see and do in Disneyland than in London, of course.

Is this thread a joke?

I am affraid, but I think this is not a joke.

Without drifting to much into a discussion, I will just say that I am jealous. I could not afford now a London trip and then Riga in December again. But well, enough said ;)

Dear Mr Groot. From my reading of this thread I think what MissKellyMojo is asking you are the questions that the UK Border Agency officer could be asking you when you try to enter the UK. Reflect on them. It would be a pity if your allocated 12 hours was sent in their offices before you had to return home.

Mr. Groot, when are you planning on spending this time in London?

(Because if you are intending to fly out of the UK to Riga on Christmas Day then your travel and sightseeing options will be severely curtailed. On this day there will be no public transport running, no tourist sights open and few food places serving.)

^^ in fact the only way from London to the airport for the flight to Riga will be by very expensive taxi

People suggested you were stateless because your profile OP) does not list a country; and different rules apply to different passports

It does seem from the evidence that Greece did not register your fine anywhere, so Germany have let you in. The German residency removed Germany form the Schengen rules for you. UK is not part of Schenegn anyway, but on an Armenian passport, apply, see what happens and see if anything from Greece flashes up on the UK's computers.

Bus trip? You are taking a bus from Germany to the UK, then back to Germany, just for 12 hours of sightseeing in London?
There are more efficient ways to do it....
