Getting around
If you are staying in London for more than a few days it is
advisable to buy an ‘A-Z of London’ which gives detailed
maps of all London’s streets, etc.
Underground: By far the quickest and easiest way to get
around the capital is by Underground. There are over 250
stations, easily recognisable by an illuminated symbol.
Underground trains run every few minutes between 5.30am
and midnight every weekday and Saturday and between
7.00am and 11.30pm on Sundays. Single and/or return
tickets are available from the ticket machines. Keep your
ticket safe - you must surrender it at your destination.
Travel Cards may be bought after 9.30am weekdays or at any
time on weekends. These give you unlimited travel on buses
and tubes for one day and save you money. For more
information, ask for a leaflet at Underground Stations or
telephone +44 20-7222-1234.
