Tube and other London, United Kingdom Transportation Tips

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: The tube is a great way to get around anywhere in London. But a few words of wisdom when traveling on the tube.

1)Mind the Gap between the train and the platform

2)Use priority in seating(ask an elderly person or a person with children if they want your seat)

3) NEVER RIDE THE TUBE AT NIGHT

why do I say never ride the tube at night. well even if you want to go somewhere thats only open at night or you want to take a picture of big ben lit up dont go on the tube at night. It can be dangerous if traveling alone. There have been a few murders that occur at night on the tube. For a safe trip, I suggest to stick to the busses at night.

(note: I did not take the picture inside the undergound because pictures inside the undergroud are prohibited)

Getting TO/AROUND: Busses are a great way to get around. It is slower than the tube but its better If you like to site see and take pictures. However if its your first time on a bus I suggest to be careful when going up the stairs. Its a wonderful trip but its easy to hurt yourself if your not carful(beleive me I know from experiance). Just like the tube prioraty seating remains just as it is on the tube(if there is an elderly person or person with children you should ask them if they want your seat). Oh and make sure to hold on at all times(sometimes you get those crazy drivers who think they're superman).

If you would like to learn about the history of english busses you can visit the London Transport Museum located in Covent Gardens.

Getting TO/AROUND: Everyone in England walks. Get use to the foot pain, get use to the standing. This might take a while to get use to. Try to take breaks and sit as much as you can. When walking always be sure to bring a backpack/purse that has water and a snack in it. Sometimes all that walking makes you hungy and thirsty. But when carying your back pack be weary of pit pockets and keep your backpack/purse at the front of you.
