Getting Around

Transportation Overview

London boasts an extensive and efficient transportation network, ensuring easy exploration of the city. The iconic red double-decker buses and iconic black cabs are ubiquitous, offering a quintessential London experience. The London Underground, commonly known as the Tube, is a lifeline for commuters and tourists alike. Additionally, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), Overground trains, trams, and river buses provide convenient options. The Oyster card, a contactless smart card, streamlines payment across all modes of transportation. London's transportation system ensures seamless access to the city's myriad attractions.

The London Underground/Tube

The London Underground, or Tube, is the heartbeat of London's transportation system. Comprising 11 lines, it serves over 270 stations and covers the city comprehensively. The Tube's iconic map simplifies navigation, displaying stations in a geometrically stylized layout. Zones delineate fare pricing, with central areas covered by Zones 1 and 2. Peak and off-peak hours affect ticket costs. The Oyster card or contactless payment is the most cost-effective way to travel. Trains are frequent but expect busier conditions during rush hours. Major interchanges like King's Cross, Victoria, and Waterloo offer connectivity. Be sure to "mind the gap" when boarding, and enjoy the historical nuances of each station. The London Underground embodies the city's pulsating rhythm and is an essential experience for any visitor.

  • Obtain an Oyster card or a contactless payment card (such as a credit or debit card) for easy access. You can buy an Oyster card at Tube stations, online, or at London airports. Alternatively, use a contactless card directly for pay-as-you-go travel.

  • Tube stations are well-signposted and equipped with maps and electronic boards displaying train arrivals. Check the station's zone and line to ensure you're heading in the right direction. Use the Tube map to plan your route, and consider using smartphone apps for real-time updates.

    When using the escalators, you must always stand on the right (as indicated on signage) as busy commuters walk down the left side of the escalator. If you stop on the left side or have luggage/bags blocking the passage, you are likely to be confronted by an angry Londoner instructing you (loudly) to move.

  • Wait for passengers to disembark before entering the train. Stand clear of the doors, and ensure your belongings are secure. Trains are marked with line names and final destinations.

  • Listen to announcements for station names and connections. Tube etiquette includes offering seats to those in need, keeping conversations quiet, and not blocking doors. If the train is busy, take off your backpack and place it on the floor between your legs. This will free up space for other passengers, and you will also avoid hitting your fellow travelers in the face when you move.

  • Follow exit signs, which often indicate nearby attractions or street exits. Swipe your Oyster card or contactless card at the gates to exit. If you have used a contactless card, it will automatically charge the correct fare.

  • Safety

    Beware of pickpockets. Ensure zips and backpacks are done up securely.

    Drinking alcohol or smoking anywhere on the underground is illegal.

    Flash photography within stations is prohibited because it may interfere with fire detection systems.

    Be careful at the ticket barrier of people coming up close behind you in an attempt to get through the barrier on your ticket. This isn't a huge problem, but it does happen.

    Stand behind the “yellow line” when a train approaches, even if Londoners do not. Ensure pushchairs are secured when the train is approaching/leaving a station (hold onto it) as the gusts of wind can suck pushchairs onto the Tube tracks.

    Off-Peak Travel

    If possible, travel during off-peak hours (outside of morning and evening rush hours) for cheaper fares.

    Contactless Payments

    If you're not using an Oyster card, ensure your contactless payment card is activated for travel in London before you arrive.

    Tube Apps

    Download Tube maps and journey-planning apps for easy navigation.

    Mind the Gap

    Be cautious of the gap between the train and the platform when boarding or alighting.

    Accessibility

    Many stations offer step-free access and designated spaces for disabled passengers.

    Stay Right

    Stand on the right side of the escalators to allow others to walk on the left.

    Planned Engineering Works

    Check for any scheduled closures or delays before you travel.

By Bus

London's iconic red buses are recognized the world over, even if the traditional Routemaster buses, with an open rear platform and on-board conductor to collect fares, have been phased out. These still run on Heritage Route 15 daily between about 09:30 and 18:30, every 15 minutes. Buses are generally quicker than taking the Tube for short (less than a couple of stops on the Tube) trips, but longer ones can be much slower especially when traffic is heavy. Many people who live and work in London mainly use the bus for short journeys (e.g. 3 stops). For sightseeing, buses are a much more pleasant way to travel than the Tube, and cheaper too for a single journey. Out of central London, you're likely to be closer to a bus stop than a tube station.

Over 5 million bus trips are made each weekday; with over 700 different bus routes you are never far from a bus. Each bus stop has a sign listing routes that stop there. Bus routes are identified by numbers and sometimes letters, for example, the 73 runs between Victoria and Seven Sisters, and the C1 (C for Central) runs from Victoria to White City. The letter N before a number designates a night bus, but a few services without the letter N run 24 hours - these are uncommon but clearly indicated and can be very useful!

  • Pay using an Oyster card, contactless payment card, or a contactless-enabled mobile device. Cash payments are not accepted on buses. You must have an Oyster card or contactless payment option.

  • Buses have a flat fare regardless of the distance traveled within central London. Fares depend on whether you're traveling during peak or off-peak hours. Oyster card and contactless payments offer daily fare capping, ensuring you won't pay more than a daily travel card.

  • Wait at a designated bus stop and check the digital display for bus numbers and routes. Signal the driver as the bus approaches to indicate you want to board. You can enter through any door on the bus.

  • Buses display their route number and final destination on the front. Use the digital display and announcements to track upcoming stops. Buses also have a visual and audio system to announce the next stop.

  • Press the "stop" button or pull the cord to signal that you want to alight at the next stop. Exit through any door at the back or the middle of the bus.

  • Be cautious while boarding or alighting and watch for traffic. Priority seating is available for passengers with mobility needs. Keep personal belongings secure and be mindful of your surroundings. Check bus schedules in advance, especially for late-night or less frequent routes. Buses can be slower during peak traffic hours, so plan accordingly. Download apps or check online resources for real-time bus arrival information.

  • Around half past midnight, the network changes to the vast night bus network of well over 100 routes stretching all over the city. There are two types of night buses: 24-hour routes and N-prefixed routes.

  • You can make unlimited bus and tram journeys within an hour for the price of a single fare with the Hopper fare.

Using London buses offers a chance to see the city's landmarks and neighborhoods at a leisurely pace. With its extensive network and convenient payment options, buses are an integral part of the London experience.

By Taxi

Taxis in London play a vital role in the city's transportation landscape, offering a reliable and iconic way to navigate its bustling streets. The two main types of taxis are the renowned black cabs and private hire vehicles (minicabs). Black cabs, easily recognizable by their traditional design, are licensed by Transport for London (TfL) and driven by knowledgeable drivers who have passed the rigorous "Knowledge of London" test. They operate on metered fares based on distance and time, with additional charges for waiting or traffic delays. Minicabs, on the other hand, must be pre-booked through a licensed operator and typically offer fixed or quoted fares. To ensure safety, it's recommended to use licensed taxis, especially black cabs, and to confirm fares before starting your journey. While tipping is customary, it's not mandatory, and a 10-15% tip is generally appreciated. Regardless of the option you choose, London's taxis provide a convenient and comfortable means of getting around the city, allowing you to explore its diverse neighborhoods and attractions with ease. Cash and card payments are widely accepted. Black Cabs can also accommodate wheelchair users and have ramps for accessibility.

London By Foot

London is a surprisingly compact city, making it a walker's delight and walking is often the quickest method of transport. The city is incredibly well signposted so it is very easy to find your way round by foot. Because Britain drives on the left-hand side of the road, for most foreign visitors it can be all too easy to forget that traffic will come at you from the opposite direction than you are used to when crossing a street - for this reason, remember to look right when you cross the road. Particularly on Central London's busiest streets, it is easy to spot native Londoners as they are able to weave in and out of the large crowds at a fast speed. Refrain from walking slowly in tight spaces to avoid annoying any fast-walking people who may be trying to pass.

In stark contrast to many other countries jaywalking is completely acceptable in the UK and many British people are unaware that it is even a crime in some places (e.g. in the US) or will not even be aware of this concept. One can even jaywalk directly in front of a police officer or police car and you will not be stopped and shouted at. However, tourists should bear in mind that Londoners are well used to the acceptable limits of this, such as when it is safe to jaywalk and when not. Given the existence of heavy volumes of traffic, confusing one-way roads, and vehicles driving on the left, visitors should proceed with caution in this regard until they are confident in navigating London's roads. Cars can generally be relied upon to follow the rules of the road, however, cyclists will often flout them, a source of much annoyance to Londoners. It is common to see cyclists skipping red lights, turning without indicating, or moving between the pavement and the road. Take caution.

By Docklands Light Railway (DLR)

Runs only in the east of the city, providing links with London City Airport, Canary Wharf/Docklands, Stratford (For Westfield Stratford City and the Olympic site), and Greenwich, privately run but part of TfL's network.

By Boat

Commuter boats and pleasure cruises along the River Thames, are privately run but part of TfL's network. These are often overlooked by visitors but are a comfortable (and fun) way to travel between many of the major sites.
