    Getting TO/AROUND: Ideal & convenient way to travel around London.

    Just decide which parts of London you want to go to, buy the card for the appropriate/relevant zones, and off you go.

    All/most tube stations have guides to give out, mapping the entire network, to aid your route-planning !

    Getting TO/AROUND: Despite being born in this City, it was not until 2006 that I first used a night bus! Full credit goes to VT member 'film'.

    We met up with a bunch of foreign VTers (plus local), and then hung out till very late! If you don't want to be extravagant & use a taxi, your travelcard can cover you for the nightbuses!

    Most have the letter 'N' in front of their number and opearate after 0100 hours.

    It's important that you read the signs on the bus-stops, with a guide to the route (and areas/stops) covered, and the bus timings.

    Then, all you have to do is wait ;)

    Not ideal for delicate damsels, but otherwise it's fine, especially if you are with someone else. Quite safe, and fun!

    Why fun??? It's a London tour at night: much faster than daytime (due to lack of traffic) & so you zoom past the sights, all lit up!
