Spending a part of our day of arrival or departure with your suitcase in London? Don't bother to carry it with you for hours, up and down the stairs of the tube. You can store it at Victoria station, platform 8 just behind WH Smith for 8.50 a peace or go to the backside of Harrods and use their storage... More

The tube is the fastest way to get around London but if you are doing sightseeing is much better to walk/get the bus/get on a boat. The tube is very very packed during rush hour. If you are not a crowd person will drive you crazy (it drives me crazy). It is a lot cheaper with Oyster card. It is... More

In my opinion, it is better to use the bus or walk as you get to see more of London that way. Yes, the buses are not always punctual, and yes, they may sometimes be crowded... But it is much worse being stuck in a crowded tube during rush hour, and with nothing to look at, having to avoid eye... More

I think this is the best public transport system in Europe. Get a map and you will get along as well, just check where is the next stop so you will be sure you are going in the right direction and destination. I personally think it is a bit expensive to travel and it can get very busy sometimes, keep... More

I wish someone had told me that most of the London Tube has no wheelchair access. The Tube is not the place to take your luggage. There are literally 100’s of stairs and crushingly full elevators. When we arrived at Paddington Station by Heathrow Express there was an announcement saying Taxi Cabs could be found outside, but nooo… I had... More

Excellent way to get around fast. We bought a traveler Oyster Card which can be used without having to get individual tickets. Peak times are crazy busy but it's a large city. My first time to the city and found it easy to use. Download the Tube Map for iPhone and it will tell you the route, times, platform, duration... More

As a New Yorker I found the tube got me around as needed and affordable. Easy to figure out except at rush hour when the crowds are like swarms of locusts making it difficult to stop and figure out which track you want. Smart phone apps help with this.

A great way of travelling from a to b whilst in our wonderful capital.Its best(if on a day out)to travel on the tube during the times of 10a.m and 4 p.m as rush hour turns a cracking journey into a "pack 4 elephants into a mini" type run.If you do some looking about online you can get some great deals...
