    Getting TO/AROUND: The trains to and from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can be found at Platform 9 ¾ inside King Cross Station. Please note: it is actually invisible to Muggles. You may glimpse Harry Potter here during breaks in the Hogwarts school calendar. A magic wand is required for inspection before boarding.

    Getting TO/AROUND:
    GET A DAY PASS! Its cheaper than paying single fares all day and easier. Do not forget, your day ticket gets you on ALL London busses too! Between the Tube and busses - you have London covered!

    Have a great Holiday!

    Getting TO/AROUND:
    The bus network is vastly more extensive than its famous sister - The Tube. Day Passes on the Tube give you free rides on the bus! Many Tube Stations are far away from major attractions (Like Bukingham Palace), but the bus can get you closer. Use the Tube for long journeys and the busses for the short ones. Together - you have London covered!

     HAha... LOVE your "Bad British Plumbing" tips! My feelings exactly! And what's with the electric showers--where you basically scald or freeze yourself? I'll give it to Americans on this one--they got their hot water systems right!

     Good tip, I will rate you for a coin. This has happened to us elsewhere, dont remember where, its is very frustrating.
