London Tube Information
London Bus Information
London Travel Passes
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 combined local 1 Day/3 Day Travel Card, which allows travel on both Bus and Tube/Overland Train in London and London environs
*
Visitors from overseas can pre-purchase heavily discounted weekly, fortnightly or monthly Visitor Travel Cards prior to departure from their home country.
A bus journey - on the one bus - on the particular route the bus travels on - is �1.50 - but if you have to change busses 2 -3 times and do this on a return journey - the cost soon mounts up - be smart - buy a day or weekly bus/train travel card.
(Currently around �5-�6 depending on the zones used) - which allows you unlimited travel on any bus route and any train route (tube or overland) within greater London.
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 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. If you have the time and you don't do
this in the middle of winter, it is a cheap and wonderful way to see all the sights, as travelling
on the Thames allows you to get first hand uninterrupted views (and accompanied by an interesting
and informative commentary) of all of the famous landmarks of London, including the Tower of London,
Westminster, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament etc.
