Transportation
Public Transportation
AKA, the Tube, is a easy, fast, and convenient way to get around London. You can buy a single pass, all day pass, or an Oyster card giving you access to the Tube, buses, light rails and overground trains.
Taxi
Every taxi driver knows quickest route to get anywhere in London. They had to take a rigorous map test to get their license, most failing the 1st time.
Some taxi drivers don't take credit cards, so make sure to ask before you enter. Also, don't take a taxi from the airport! They don't have a set fair price so it could end up costing a lot. Instead use the Tube or Heathrow Express/Connect.
Uber
There are many drivers here so you won't have to worry about finding a ride.
