If you are British and you are travelling with the British passport you don't need a transit visa.

Chao Haz,
I second Kat, she is correct. The U.K. is part of the Schengen Countries if I remember correctly, regardless anyone with this type of Visa or Passport is pretty much free to travel Western European countries. Your hold a British Passport? If so there will be special lines just for "Schengen" travelers.
Colombians visiting the U.K. or even passing through; a much different story as the U.K. mirrors the U.S. in its policies, but is more helpful in granting this visa. Enjoy your upcoming holiday!!

no lampltr Uk is not part of the Schengen Countries, it's part of the EU.Schengen and European Union are two different agreements between European countries. But again if he holds a British passport he doesn't need a visa a transit visa or a visa to go to any European Country.

also you can go via USA if you hold a British Passport, The UK is under The Visa Waiver Program.The (VWP) is a program of the United States of America which allows citizens of specific countries to travel to the US for tourism or business for up to 90 days without having to obtain a visa.

so you don't need transit visa either.
