    Getting TO/AROUND: The fantastic and eficient london underground or tube like most people call it. There are 13 lines and about 200 and something stops. It runs from 5.00 am until 23.00 pm and there are trains every 3 minutes on main lines. Prices are ok, i bought the oyster card for 7 days and for zone 1 and 2 for 23 pounds and i could use the card for tube, bus and DLR trains.

    El fantastico y eficiente metro de Londres o el tubo como la mayoría lo llaman. Tiene 13 lineas y unas 200 y picos de paradas. Comienza a funcionar a las 5 de la mañana hasta las 23.00 de la noche aprox. y hay trenes cada 3 minutos en las lineas principales. El precio está muy bién, compré la oyster card para 7 días y zona 1-2 y costó 23 libras, incluye el metro, autobus y el DLR tren.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The best option to travel from Gatwick airport to London Victoria is by train, there are two ways by gatwick express or with southern trains. I did it with southern and it was good for price 17.20 pounds return open and for time only take 35 minutes and only have 2 stops on Clapham Junction and East Croydon. The difference with gatwick express is you save aboot 9 pounds and only take 5 minutes more to reach London Victoria

    La mejor manera para ir del aeropuerto de Gatwick a Londres Victoria es en tren, tienes dos maneras usando el gatwick express con con la compañia southern trains. Yo lo hice con southern y me fue bién tanto por precio 17.20 libras ida i vuelta abierta a 1 mes y por lo que tarda solo 35 minutos y solo tiene 2 paradas en clapham junction y East Croydon. La diferencia con gatwick express es que te ahorras unas 9 libras y solo tardas unos 5 minutos mas en llegar a Londres Victoria.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Walking around London is a fantastic experience, I used the Underground for long distance and the rest walk, walk and walk. Use a confortable shoe and ready for discover London.

    Caminar por Londres es una experiencia única, lo mejor es usar el metro para largas distancias y el resto iba andando. Buscate un calzado cómodo y preparate a descubrir Londres.
