Getting Around
Metro
London's Tube costs £2.50 for a single journey with an Oyster card or contactless payment, covering key areas like Westminster and Camden, operating from 5am to midnight. To save money, avoid peak hours (Monday-Friday 6:30-9:30am and 4-7pm) when fares can be up to 50% higher.
Bicycle
London's Santander Cycle hire scheme costs £2 for 30 minutes and is available at over 800 docking stations across the city, making it convenient for short rides between areas like Hyde Park and Tower Bridge. Insider tip: pre-register online for the cycle hire card to unlock bikes faster and avoid long queues, especially during peak tourist seasons.

The city is incredibly beautiful, just really stunning. I can definitely say that this is a place where everyone should visit - it’s a must. »
I just got back from an amazing trip to London and I can't stop thinking about it! The city is a perfect mix of history and modernity. From the iconic Big Ben to the vibrant streets of Camden Market, every corner has something exciting to offer.
The food scene is absolutely incredible! I tried authentic fish and chips at a cozy little pub and it was delicious. 🍽️ On my visit to Borough Market, the variety of street food was overwhelming, and I ended up trying a lot of different cuisines – everything from Indian curry to fresh pastries!
The museums are a must-visit! The British Museum has so many fascinating exhibits that I lost track of time. And the best part? Most of them are free! 🙌 Just be prepared for crowds, especially in the popular spots.
I took a stroll along the Thames and the views were breathtaking! The sunsets over the river are something you can’t miss. The atmosphere of the city is just enchanting, and I feel like I left a piece of my heart there. ❤️
Definitely planning to go back soon! If you ever get the chance, visit London! You won’t regret it! ✈️ »
