-----------------------

With London’s underground railway (or “Tube”), you can go to most places in the city. Although it is fast, in rush hour the Tube is often crowded. So it is important to avoid the Tube between 0800 and 0930, and between 1600 and 1830.

The cheapest way to travel on the Tube is to buy a travel card. You can also use this on London’s famous red buses. Although traveling by bus is slow, you can see many popular landmarks from the bus window.

Travelling by taxi is, of course, the most convenient way to go. Although taxis ae comfortable, they are expensive. Pray that there are no traffic jams when you are in a taxi. The taxi fares can be very high!

If you are not in a hurry, take a slow boat along the Thames, London’s river. Or try the cheapest transport of all- your feet! Walking is a great way to see the sights in this beautiful city.
