Advisers said the goal was to manage the current crisis by restoring growth and to prevent a future downturn by reforming financial regulations.

Mr Obama has vowed to listen to his foreign counterparts and lead by example to address the economic crisis and work to stem future financial catastrophes.

"The President and America are going to listen in London as well as to lead," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

Discussions are expected to be intense as there are wide differences between the US and Europe over how to stabilise and grow economies.

While in London, Mr Obama plans meetings with Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Chinese President Hu Jintao, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, the Queen, and British Conservative Party leader David Cameron.

Mr Obama is also scheduled to meet with Saudi Arabia's Abdullah, Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.

Mr Obama's jam-packed agenda includes a major speech in France on the US trans-Atlantic relationship. He will deliver another one in the Czech Republic on nuclear proliferation.

Then he goes to hold a round-table in Turkey with students. He also has plans to meet with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, as well as a slew of other heads of state as part of a rigorous schedule.
