    Getting TO/AROUND: It is very convinient and cheapest means of moving about in London..sometimes you can get a free ride if the driver is in a good mood. HAHA.

    Getting TO/AROUND: This organization has become my regular mode of traveling to the UK. It is perharps better than going by Air as Hearthrow is rather far from the centre if you are on business trip. Because you arive at Waterloo, and can simply take a £1 Bus to whereever, or the a £5 one day round trip tube to your destination, makes the Euorostar from Gare Du Nord to Waterloo very attractive to me. Because my bussiness is usually on Strands street, I sometimes just walk from Waterloo station.

    Getting TO/AROUND: This is waterloo Train Station. It is a very busy station, with all the comfort and trapings for tourists. I have always enjoyed using the Eurostar from Paris because of its convinience.

    Getting TO/AROUND: From the Hyde Park I stood to take this picture. There are so many buses and station just across the Hyde Park where you could link other part of London, soo, if you are staying at the Royal Lancaster, you could easily take the tube from Lancaster Gate, or the buses at the park.

    Getting TO/AROUND: For me that came from Paris to London, moving from Waterloo to Hyde is by Nortwester line towardsLancaster Gate. This picture show the bus stop when you emerge from the underground. You can either walk to your hotel as I did or just pick up a taxi, or a bus. Transportation in London is just very well organised..what more all the hotels here are within reach of the underground.
