    Getting TO/AROUND: Read all the other Travel Card postings for useful info - then read this.
    If you are heading for London from home you can order a Travel Card or Heathrow Express Travel card online from Transport for London. The price is based on the number of days and zones you plan to travel - up to 7 days.
    The Heathrow Express fare gives you a roundtrip from the airport to the city in addition to unlimited travel in London Zones 1& 2 for a week - for 42.80 pounds. (Less, for fewer days.)
    Note : you MUST order from abroad. The card will be mailed to you at least 1 week prior to your departure.
    Imagine how simple it will be to step off the plane and onto a train that whisks you into London - with no annoying stops at the exchange desk!

    Getting TO/AROUND: For a great orientation to the highlights of London try touring the city with THE BIG BUS COMPANY. The double-decker buses offer hop-on, hop-off convenience throughout downtown London with running live commentary. And because the tourguides come from all over, after a few bus changes you may get to hear several interesting variations on the Queen's English.

    Pre-recorded narration in 8 foreign languages also is available.

    You may purchase tickets at the designated Big Bus Stops all around London, in the office on Buckingham Palace Road, or online.
    The cost is 17 pounds for adults - 8 pounds for children. (Slightly cheaper online.) Your all-day ticket is a free pass to cruises on the Thames as well: look for the Big Red Cruiseboat at either Westminster Pier or Tower Pier. Boats run daily every 30 minutes.
