Already in London
The transportation system in London is pretty amazing. Well compared to Sydney, Australia that is.
Tubes – These things will take you anywhere within Greater London, every 2-5mintues.
Pros
Easy to use and understand
Gives you great access to most places in London
Fun, fast, and a novelty to any newbie in London
Cons
Sometimes breakdown or delayed, or forget to show up
Get really hot in the winter due to heating, overcrowding, and too many massive coats
Get really hot in summer due to lack of air-con
Advice; Take water, a book or i-pod to keep yourself occupied
Stop at midnight
London Buses – Buses run all the time and you only have to pay 1 fare when travelling in and around Central London.
Pros
Cheap
You can see London from up top, helps get your bearings
Also a novelty to any newbie in London
Takes you where the tubes might not
24hr service
Cons
Not easy to understand
Chavs
Not as quick as the tube as London traffic is a nightmare
