This is one of my favourite bus routes in London. Not only is it 24hr, it is one of the most direct…read moreroutes in London. It dissects the city in an almost north, south direction, running from Hampstead Heath to Pimlico. I love this bus because it is regular, quick and doesn't fill up with the late night fools that have had one to many WKD Blues. After a night on the town I want to get home without having to traverse and listen to spotty teenagers retching into there friends handbag. Keep idiot free and regular No.24, I love ya!

April 27th 2025. During our first trip to London we took…read moreUber from Heathrow airport to our hotel at Hilton West end. Trip cost about the equivalent of $75. Second trip to London we took the London underground from Heathrow to Holborn all along the Piccadilly line without transferring. 23 stops along the line but we we were seated the entire time carrying day packs and one carry-on luggage each.. The cost was the equivalent of $7 per person. If you are coming from Heathrow airport during rush hour you can take the Heathrow Express directly from the airport too Paddington station. For two people this would be about the same Fare as Uber. And you would still have to get from Paddington station to your central London hotel. In our case we could have taken the Elizabeth Express from Heathrow airport to Tottenham Court road station and walked the mile to our hotel near Holborn underground station. The fair would have been about double that of the London underground. Both of the Heathrow Express and Elizabeth line are more luggage friendly. Compared to the London underground. The London underground has contactless payment. You simply scan your credit card on entry and scan the same credit card on exit. Seats seats are cloth with armrest. People with oversized luggage can put your luggage near the doors in special areas. is not advised during peak hours was standing room only. Unlike New York City most London stations have working escalators making it possible, but not easy, to carry luggage on the trains. Make sure you put your luggage on its side. One person put his luggage on his wheels in the luggage area but the luggage rolled out the entrance on its own at the next stop.

London Underground is an excellent model of public transportation. We used it to get to and from…read morethe airport from Paddington Station, which was near our hotel. London Underground is certainly cheaper than a taxi or uber, and we had no problems finding room on the trains with our luggage (two people, each with a carry on). Announcements remind you to "mind the gap", and the stations we visited were staffed and welcoming. One even had an inspirational quote up. As expected, some stations are more modern than others since they are utilized more. I loved that I could tap my credit card to get through the gates onto the train, rather than buying a physical card or downloading an app. I wish the DC Metro used this system.

Cutty Sark (aka Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich) is the closest station for accessing the…read moreNational Maritime Museum and the Royal Observatory. It is on the DLR system between Island Gardens and Greenwich in Travelcard zone 2/3 (you get charged for the cheaper journey). This is a deep station, with at least two escalators. There might have been a third I missed. Like most of the DLR, this station is step free. There is a lift ("elevator" to Americans). There are also a pair of cashpoints ("ATM's") in the station near the ticket machine. Note that there are no ticket barricades at Cutty Sark. You have to remember to purchase a ticket or swipe your Oyster card. I have seen ticket inspectors on board the trains!

Epping is the eastern terminus of the Central Underground Line of London Transport, and is situated…read moreoutside the M25. It is the second-most northerly station on the underground network (after Chesham). History The line from Loughton to Ongar via Epping was opened in 1865 as an extension of the Eastern Counties Railway line from London Liverpool Street to Loughton. For most of its life it was a normal suburban railway branch, but was included in post-war plans to extend to Central Line beyond Leytonstone. The line from Loughton to Epping was incorporated into London Transport and electrified in 1949. The line beyond to Ongar was thereafter operated as a shuttle - by steam until 1957, and electric until its closure in 1994. Since then Epping has been the true eastern terminus of the line. The station The station preserves its original buildings on the main platform, as well as an attractive Great Eastern Railway footbridge across to platform 2. There is a ticket office, a large 500-space car park, and a bus stop for services to Harlow and Chipping Ongar. The station is in zone 6, and normally enjoys an off-peak 10-minute frequency of trains to West Ruislip - one of the longest journeys possible on the Underground system, nearly 35 miles away on the other side of the capital.

Did worry about getting around London with 2 children in tow as had only ever done it with friends…read moreor by myself before. There were no problems at all, we had to wait at times to get through the barriers as children under 10 were free they had no tickets to get in or out themselves. Not many people pushed or got in our way, we stood to the side to let people over take us when it was appropriate and those in a rush did just that. They also enjoyed the buskers at the various stations, and got used to it by the end of the first day. I think it helped we were in Paris and used their underground trains 2 weeks before as when at home we rarely if ever use public transport!
