Admittedly, it's a lot more helpful if your…read moreusual starting or finishing point is in Camden, but even so it's definitely a handy radial bus route which will get you across London without having to ride the tube into Zone 1 and back out again. Starting in Camden Town, it makes its way up through Chalk Farm, along Adelaide Road and across to Swiss Cottage, then over into Kilburn, to Maida Vale, Westbourne Park, through Notting Hill Gate station's vicinity, then on to Shepherds Bush, and White City. Not much use for getting to Clapham, of course. But if you live in Camden and you need to get back from a gig at SheBu Empire, then you couldn't wish for a handier bus.

My time in London was limited to a few hours on a layover. Rather than stay at Gatwick for the…read morewhole day, I decided to do a super quick tour of London. Getting around on the Tube was quick and easy. The train cars felt a bit cramped and no air conditioning (it was a very hot and humid July day) but it got me to where I needed to be with no issues.

In my experience, this is the best way to get around London. Super affordable and convenient.,…read more Fast and always on time. I absolutely loved traveling this way as I spent multiple days in town. With so many stops all around town, super close to so many great places to visit. Getting g tickets is so easy, I prefer to purchase a daily ride for one low price. Lots of other options, check it out. All my transfers were easy and clean. I wish I could use this option back home too.

Do you love paying boatloads of cash for spotty, questionably-usable wi-fi?…read more How about getting kicked off your train mid-journey, forced to play at being a lemming and herding onto another train due to the failure of a completely unrelated vehicle? And who revels in being surrounded by loud, drunk, pink feather boa-bedecked middled-aged ladies who've tried the wroooong shade of spray-on tan en route to a hen do (or perhaps a birthday bash)?

You've just won yourself an expensive ticket to Perdition! ... but at least the views out the east-facing windows are quite pretty on the London-Edinburgh route. I mean, if you're going to ride through hell, you might as well take the scenic route, right?

Sure, the concessions cart was wheeled through the cabins between each of the stops and while I didn't want anything, the guy was through and done in a flash. You'd think he had somewhere else to be. Still for £18 round trip, London to Edinburgh (a 5 hour trip each way), I shouldn't really complain.

However, I rather liked this station, no doubt because of all the artwork on the walls outside. It did certainly have some charm about it.

It's quite close to Camden Town station and if you are headed there, consider this station as an alternative as Camden Town gets quite busy. Serving the Charing Cross brand of the Northern Line, Mornington Crescent is in Travelcard Zone 2. There are Oyster readers and ticket barricades. The ticket booth is staffed and there are also automated ticket vending machines.

It is unacceptable to pass through the barriers, pay with an Oyster card, and only then be told that trains are not running. The staff saw us paying, but then called us while we were going down the stairs, and we had to argue to get a refund. The information service is extremely poor and often delayed. Considering how expensive the Tube is, travel should be reliable, but it is becoming more and more frustrating. I had an important appointment scheduled months in advance, and because of this disruption, I had to quickly change my plans and take a bus, still arriving late. While traveling by bus across London, there were ongoing roadworks with construction vehicles parked, causing terrible traffic. On top of that, inconsiderate drivers ignored traffic lights and blocked buses. The worst part is that there was not a single police vehicle in sight to manage the area--this chaos can only be described as a jungle. This is an unacceptable service for anyone with commitments who pays a high price to travel in London. Peter
