    Getting TO/AROUND: IIn London, the underground system is called the Tube. There are over 250 stations, and the trains run ever day from 5:30 am until just after midnight. On my warning tip, I talk about the inconvenience of little or no service after midnight.

    The station in the photo (Liverpool Street Station), has a Tourist Information Center that is open:

    8:15 am-7 pm Mondays
    8:15 am-6 pm Tuesday-Saturday
    8:15 am-4:45 pm Sunday


    They have information about daytrips, guided tours, and accomodations.

    I purchased a Weekly Travel Card It is by far the most economical plan if you are staying at least four days. I stayed for seven days; thus, it really saved me a good deal of money. It allowed me to have unlimited travel on all forms of transportation without time restrictions. I knew before I left (because Jill informed me) that I needed a passport-sized photo in order to purchase the card.

    See my Packing Tip for the need of photo..

     1991 may seem so long ago, but these tips on London classics are timeless. Still have to make it there - these tips should prove handy someday. Thanks for sharing.
