London travel tips



London is one of the most iconic cities in the world containing some of the most recognizable landmarks including the Big Ben, Tower bridge and the Queen's residence, The Buckingham palace. It is the largest city in the UK and as such there are so many things to see and do. Here are some of useful tips for first time travellers to the great city.



1. If you're visiting London from abroad than it's likely that the roads back home go the other way so be sure to look left when crossing the road! There are also signs at popular tourist sites to remind you.

2. Be sure to wear comfortable clothing including shoes as some roads and walkways are not in the best shape. It is also wise to layer clothing to prepare for the somewhat unpredictable weather.

3. Buy an oyster card. Transport in London is relatively expensive so it is a lot cheaper to get around using an oyster card. They can be used for the tube and buses and are extremely convenient to use as it is used through a simple tap-on. They can also be topped up at any station.
