Marble Arch Inn, London

Advantages: Historical monument - worth seeing once.
Disadvantages: Won't take up much of your time.

...Marble Arch in London is a historical monument worthy of a quick look and a photograph. As the name suggests it's a large archway constructed entirely of marble. Don't expect it to be anything else. When you get to Marble Arch you may need to cross the road to get a closer look or to read the plaque next to it. Access over the busy roads here is via a series of complicated subways or tunnels under the road. There are even maps to tell you which tunnel comes out where! Homeless people begging for money inhabit these tunnels. Keep your valuables safe.... Read review

Advantages: stressfree, quick, easy to use
Disadvantages: may be separated if bus is full up

...RECOMMEND THIS? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Yes I would, most definitely. The bus was easy to catch, stress free and made a trip into London most enjoyable. The drop off point is central, right on the edge of Oxford Street for the Marble Arch one. We have already decided that next time we want to go to London we will do the same again. Living in North Devon, it costs a fortune to catch a train to London, so it will be easier and cheaper for us to stay near Oxford and catch the Oxford Tube in. I want to do some more sight seeing in London, so can't wait to do this again. (So far my experience of London involves 2 trips to Harrods, a visit to Windsor Castle, Madame Tussauds, Phantom of The Opera and also, 2 museums when I was a child!). I want to go and do the full tourist bit and am looking forward to my next trip, whereas after the 7... Read review
