I live in Norwich and travel to London quite frequently and use the tubes. I find it cheap. I used to buy travel cards that were about £5 a day for central london and that would get me on the trains, busses and DLR. But then i bought an Oyster card (a pay as you go style card) what i just "tap" on a reader at the start and finish of my journey.

I would say it is very cheap if you have a travel/oyster card but if you are paying cash fares than it is pricey.

It is not as bad as people say it is. Most of the time the trains are on time and as they run a metro system even if a train is late its only by no more than 5 minutes. However it does get very busy sometimes and VERY HOT. take plenty of water down there with you (beware there are no bins for security reasons)

Overall i would give the London underground 9/10 for its ease of use and reliability

I used the underground for the first time last week and it was so hot! Anyway, this is a good start but more information is needed; if you edit it let me know and I'll re-rate :)
