Getting TO/AROUND: The UNDERGROUND or the TUBE, is the best way to get around London --- and it is always an adventure. Pick up a tube map at any station. Each underground line has a different name and colour which makes it easy for you to follow your route.
The TUBE covers 6 Zones and carries 3 million commuters daily -- Imagine that!!!
You must buy the right ticket for your destination before you begin your journey or you will be liable to a 10 pound Penalty. The price of your ticket depends on how many Zones you travel through. Travel Cards offer the best value. Hans bought one "Off-Peak" card for 4.90 pounds.
Try to avoid the busiest times between 8:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: First of all, let me point out that the Brits drive on the wrong side of the road. The correct side ole chaps is to drive on the right. I think it is terribly inhospitable to expect we tourists to have to look right when crossing a road. It's just not normal. Blimey!
Aaaaand!! What's happened to all the old Double-Decker Buses. Now all you see are these new fandangled things, a poor imitation of the old beloved Red Double-Decker ROUTEMASTERS on which you hopped on and held on for dear life. Now that was a bus!
Though most prefer to take the tube, Buses have the advantage of being able to look around as you travel.

Wonderful London page with superb photographs! London is one of our favourite cities to visit in Europe. We had missed Millenium Bridge and London Aquarium. We hope to visit them in our next trip to London. ~ho & pang | aussirose Wed Apr 22, 2009 13:04 UTC
