getting_around

Sounds easy in theory - or is it? Even if you could afford the luxury
of a car in London, would you really want it? Parking at a premium,

car back home, but there are still a few things handy to know before you head out and about.

to avoid.

The underground - a quick explanation on how it works, what it costs, savings available and
some general hints and tips.

London Buses - general facts, pros and cons and some handy hints.
