Hey Rashi
First what is your purpose to visit London? You are not clear on that. If you are clear on that, then you can work around your dad. Dads are very protective about their daughters. Even mine. Trust me. At this age, if I am late home, he walks around the house like a chicken in a boiling water. ๐ So papas are papas all over the world.
Second, did your dad give you the reasons why you cannot go to London? If he did, then you have to find a solution on that. If he did not, then ask him about his fear and doubts. If yr father is very strict, then ask your mum.
I do not know how old you are, but you will have a tough time convincing him. Household chores or being polite alone doesn't help. ๐
Assuming you want to go to London for hols. First, do you have friends or relatives there? If you do, then contact them and ask them if you could stay with them. Or if you could not stay with them, ask them to look for a hotel nearby their place. Then ask them, if your dad can contact them in case of emergency.
Second, research on London, i.e. places to visit and stay. Prepare an itinerary for yourself. Places to visit, hotels to stay, their address, telephone numbers, etc. etc. Your research must be in detail.
Present them to your dad. Including date of departure, arrival, etc. Price of a ticket. All details are needed. Purpose of visit, place to stay, contact details, your expenditures, currency rate, budget, etc. The list is long. You need to show your dad or rather convince your dad that you are a young matured lady who knows what you want. YOu can get all the details from internet.
Similarly if you want to go to school in London. Then research on the school/area and all other details. Maybe your dad thinks you are not grown up yet. ๐ So do a good planning and make a impressive presentation to your dad and also a good bargaining will help along the way. That means you must promise your dad something, like you will contact him everyday and let him know how you are.๐
Or alternatively if you are papa's darling, then do like what Meli does. Put up a long sad face. Like you have lost something important in your life.
Good Luck Rashi. ๐๐ผ
