Transportation

Travelers in London must consider several transportation options, including the famous double-decker buses, underground trains, taxis, and walking. Oyster Cards can provide discounted rates of up to 50% for public transportation. A daily charge cap applies so that you do not pay more than necessary. Travellers can also enjoy a river cruise to see London from a different perspective. Costs vary depending on the chosen form of transport, but budget about $10 - $20 per day per person.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider a day visit to the famous Stonehenge or the historic Windsor Castle. If you prefer retail therapy, check out the famous Oxford Street. For those with limited time, consider removing an activity that is of less interest to you. Remember, you can see many attractions from the outside and avoid paying entry fees. Finally, it is always advisable to book tickets in advance to guarantee entrance and skip long lines, where possible.
