Advantages: Lots and lots of shops - you'll be entertained all day long Disadvantages: Very very crowded, smelly, noisy and full of annoying tourists
...Vivaldi's Four Seasons, because that's what you?ll be listening to while you're on hold. And let me know if you manage to get through to someone in less than 20 minutes. I've yet to manage it.
The tube is without a doubt the fastest and simplest mode of transport into the West End. If you're only visiting and don't know the area very well, I would advise you to pick up a tube map from any underground station. It saves you desperately searching for wall maps, only to find a huge crowd of tourists with the same idea, already huddled round the one and only map and totally blocking your view. Can you tell I find this annoying?
If you're heading to Oxford Street, you have a choice of four stops to get out at, Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus, Bond Street or Marble Arch.
The Tottenham Court Road stop is best if you're intending...

Advantages: A beautiful city, full of history and architecture Disadvantages: So much to do and so little time!
...Don't ask why I wanted to go to Oxford; it was possibly watching the beginning of Balderdash and Piffle, where they talk about the beautiful architecture of Oxford, well being one of those boring children who is fascinated by architecture I asked to go. So it was decided that when half my family disappeared on several holidays to Germany that the remaining half of us would take the two hour journey down the M1 to visit this historical town, and it was a very nice visit.

Advantages: stressfree, quick, easy to use Disadvantages: may be separated if bus is full up
...We went to London on Saturday to see The Sound Of Music at the London Palladium. As accommodation is expensive in London, we decided to stay at our usual Premier Travel Inn at Didcot and drive in. However, somebody recommended the Oxford Tube, so we decided to give ourselves a stress free trip and not have to worry about parking and booked the Oxford Tube instead.
What is the Oxford Tube? Well, The Oxford Tube is a bus service that at peak times runs every 15 minutes between Oxford and London.
We were very happy with the Tube and will definitely be using it again.
There are a number of stops in Oxford where you can get on and off, namely:
Speedwell Street, St Aldgates, Gloucester Green, High Street, St Clements, Oxford Brookes University, Headington, Gladstone Road, Green Road and Sandhills. We got on at Thornhills Park...

I was born and brought up in a purely Assamese society and so we rarely get to hear someone speaking english. If somehow we get a chance, we consider him very knowledgeable. We the friends shared a joke and the joke goes like this........

Everyone I know (almost) owns one of these book. Universally known as "The little yellow book", this little gem is one of the most useful things I possess.
Published by the Oxford University Press, this small volume is just the right size to fit in more
