Around London |
Do
you want to rent a car? We think you shouldn't.
London traffic is heavy, traffic rules are quite
different, and we drive on the left side of the
road. The best way to move around London is by the
Tube (is how we call the "underground") and the
double deck buses. The Tube is fast, affordable
and can take you anywhere in London. You can buy
a one-day unlimited travel Travelcard for Zones
1 and 2 for £3.50. It will save you a lot of money.

.... The big and comfortable London taxicabs are great
for moving around, but expensive. Fares start at £1.40
and increase by 20p per 55.5 seconds until it exceeds
£8.60. After that it's the same 20p but per 37 seconds.
Add a 10% to 15% tip per ride. One option is the Mini
Cab, with prices like £18 from Heathrow Airport to
the city centre. |

| Driving |
| If
you really must drive in London, keep in mind the
speed limit is 30mph in most of the streets. Pedestrians
have right-of-way on zebra crossings, It is illegal
to park within any area marked with a zigzag line
or to pass another vehicle on a zebra crossing. The
use of horns is prohibited between 11:30pm and 7am.
On places marked with a red line you can't even stop
to let a passenger out. It's best to consider you
can park only at a meter, a garage or a place with
no markings. |

| Districts |
| Greater
London is divided 33
boroughs, each one with its own flair and culture.
Be sure to visit as many as you can. You can find
your way around using the postal area codes. The first
letter is always the direction (W=west, SE=southeast,
etc) |
