A hidden secret!
Review of Getting around in London generally by jo1l

Advantages: great train journey
Disadvantages: stops every where

I discovered this train line when i was living down in London -in woolwich at the time but worked in Islington> basically this was a stress free way of me travelling to work. The link from woolwich involves walking through a foot tunnel to the north bank to get the trainat North Woolwich station it then travels all the way to Richmond via the eastend and Islington. The service was very reliable - I am talking 5 years ago! so I cant vouch for what ... Read review

Wild London
Review of Getting around in London generally by maklhouf

Advantages: we're not all locked up yet
Disadvantages: but they'll keep trying

I'm too old to play in a nursery under the watchful eye of Nanny and I'm too free to enjoy being in a well- manicured open prison under the eye of Security. You can get murdered on Twickenham Common(where are all the security cameras when you need them?), so when I go out in London I head for the Wilds. Things to leave at home: 1:uppity demeanour 2: wallet There's a healthy clump of Wilds down by the Regent Canal. They don't stagger far ... Read review

Mini-black cabs the best
Review of Getting around in London generally by sailormn

Advantages: Good rates, good service
Disadvantages: unlicenced cabs

I think after travelling in London taxis for a few times, I feel that the best ones are those who are the mini-black cabs (unlicenced taxi drivers). First of all, you have to call and book one as usual in UK and it will arrive in about ten minutes if you require it on the spot. And the driver would negotiate a flat fare to go from one destination to another in central london. I was charged 9quid to travel from Russel Square to Victoria coach station. ... Read review

London Transport
Review of Getting around in London generally by babee_gurl_uk

Advantages: Buses and trains come evry 15 minutes and taxis r found evrywhere.
Disadvantages: The buses and trains are very dirty and some have broken seats.

...their r different ways of getting around 2 see all the tourists sites. One way is buy hiring a car but in london, u will get lots of stress from driving because of the constant traffic. so they invented public transport. Lets start with taxis. Like cars and all u hav 2 do is pay the driver. The underground train is a little smelly but is quite cheap 2 travel. Buses are qite clean and cost 40p for a child, and 70p-£1 for an adult depending on which ... Read review
