    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..

     How did I miss the Old Curiosity Shop when in London? I found the city very easy and comfortable. You've created a very informative page even tho you were pre-digital. How did we get along without those nifty cameras?
