London’s network

The Tube

The London Underground, or 'the Tube', is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London. Trains generally run between 5am and 12 midnight, Monday to Saturday, with reduced hours on Sunday.

London Buses

London buses are also a great way to travel with the added bonus of plenty of sightseeing opportunities en route. There are dedicated bus lanes across London, which means that travelling on a bus has become an efficient method of road travel. Buses run 24 hours a day across London.

Taxis

You can’t fully experience London until you have experienced the luxury of sitting in one of London’s iconic black cabs - If the yellow sign at the front is illuminated, the cab is available for hire.

Cycling

Cycling around London is a great way saving money and keeping fit at the same time! Over recent years, since the introduction of London’s congestion charge in 2003, there has been a marked increase in the introduction of additional cycle lanes.

Driving

We don’t recommend using a car in London unless you absolutely have to. Besides the fact the traffic in London is increasingly congested, you’ll find it almost impossible to park, and with the introduction of the congestion charge in February in 2003 you now have to pay to drive into the centre.

Tickets and fares

Oyster is London's ticketing and revenue system, which makes buying and using tickets easier. An Oyster card can store up to £90 of value, which can then be used to pay as you go. You can use an oyster card on London’s Tube, trams, buses, Docklands Light Railway, over ground trains and some National Rail services in London.
