Comments on: How to Get Around London on the Cheap

on 8/8/2006 If possible, try to get an Oyster card for travel on the tube/subway, bus or Docklands Light Rail (DLR). With the fee hikes happening almost every year, using an Oyster is definitely cheaper as compared to a tube ticket. It's a small investment to make even if you are staying just for a few days.

You get to poke about corners of London wou would never reach any other way. It is better to have some cycling experience, or else book training, through the London Cycling Campaign. Contrary to the impression given, cycling is a pretty safe way of getting around if you know what you are doing, experience being the main factor

on 11/22/2005 London underground maps are everywhere. London Transport offices and some tourist shops also carry free folding maps of central London bus routes. Grab one. Will help you plan your moves around the city. Combining the Tube with the buses will get you almost anywhere in London. Also will help when you want to use the bus as an alternative to the Underground.
