London Underground
The best way to get around London (*If you have not pre-purchased a Visitor Travel Card) before arriving in the UK is to purchase a electronic 'pay as you go' Oyster Card or a 3/7 day printed travel card which allows travel on both Bus and Tube and Overland Train in London and London environs. *Visitors from overseas can pre-purchase heavily discounted Visitor Travel Cards or (in selected countries) electronic Oyster Cards prior to departure from their home country.
London Busses
A bus journey - on the one bus - on the particular route the bus travels on - is currently £2.00 (cash - or only £1.20 if using an Oyster Card) - but if you have to change your bus 2 -3 times to get to your destination and do this on a return journey it will be £2.00 each time - so the cost is quite horrific. It is strongly recommended that you buy a day or weekly bus/train oyster or travel card. As well, bus drivers HATE giving change and in many cases now simply don't carry change as everyone uses an Oyster or Travel Card, so if you use cash you MUST always have the exact change.
For 2010 it is expected that the present Zone 1-6 offpeak travel card will stay the same cost: £7.50 per day and £47.60 per week. This allows you unlimited travel on any bus route and any train route (tube or overland) within greater London. For more details go to our Zone charging Maps: Zone Charging Map Zone 1 - Zone 6, London Underground Tube Zone Charging Map Zone 7 - Zone 9, Our Travel Card Zone Map and our updated London Underground Tube Map.
Some of the other changes for 2010 are that the Oyster daily price cap will increase by 50p which will bring the cost to the same cast as as a Travelcard paper ticket. Also - good news - Oyster card can now be used on National Rail routes within London, although the fares will not be the same. There will also be National Rail "pay as you go fares" as well as the existing TFL (Transport for London) fares, and their will be new Combined TFL/National Rail fares, which apply when you travel on both National Rail AND TFL services on the same day

London Docklands Light Railway (DLR)
A modern light railway system that seamlessly links London's version of skyscraper central in the new
Docklands/Canary Wharf area and London City Airport with the Tube & Rail Track through the new Jubilee Line. The DLR starts
at Bank Station in the City or Tower Hill Station. (Tower Gateway). If taking the Tube (Jubilee line), change at Canary Wharf for the DLR to get to the Cutty Sark, Maritime Museum, and Greenwich Observatory (where time
begins) at Greenwich.
London River Services
Want a great value day out sightseeing on the River Thames? London Transport also operates River
Thames boat services, providing both regular commuter services along the Thames, or for visitors,
a great day out if you take the regular scheduled services upstream to Greenwich or downstream to
beautiful Richmond and on to stunning Hampton Court Palace.
