Getting around in London
London is a huge city, and you will walk a lot, but with the underground (the Tube) and buses you can get around fast and easy.
The underground is easy to figure out and has a well extended network of lines that cover the entire city. A single ticket costs from £ 1,50 and up. And at those prices, it easily pays off to buy a Travel Card.
Get a map over the Tube to print or visit the official Tube site.
A great and valuable site for transport/getting around in London is the official Transport For London (trf.gov.uk)
The bus service is also well functioning and efficient, read more on Transpaort for London. A bus ticket costs £ 1,20.
