Visitor Tips On London

By Poppy Hill


Looking Forward To Your First Visit To London. The City Has A Lot To Offer Tourists Visiting The Capital No Matter What Season They Decide To Book Their Holiday. Plenty Of Indoor Historical Buildings To Visit And Then Head Over To One Of The Many Restaurants For Afternoon Tea Or An Early Dinner. You Will Certainly Need A Few Return Visits To Visit All The Sites.

The City Airport has direct public links into the city itself either by bus or the DLR network which is a light railway network which offers a speedy way into the centre. No need to panic about tickets for the train as they can be purchased after you have landed but before you board the train.

How do I travel around the city I hear you say. There are a number of ways to travel around the city with the most popular being the underground. Visitors can purchase a weekly or a daily ticket for the subway which runs from 0600 until midnight. All of the tourist sight seeing places are available within zone 1 of the system which will appears on the detailed map .

You may be tempted to walk and view as many sites as you can. This is fine if you only have a small area to cover but as the city is huge you will be better off on the underground as this is a quick and easy way around the centre. There are plenty of buses which are frequent and regonsible by the bright red colour. Tickets can be purchased by inserting coins into a machine which is situated at the bus stops. Remember that the buses may be slow around the inner part of the city around the tourist sights due to the amount of traffic on the roads.

A trip would not be complete here without taking in a show. The west end of London is a special place to go in the evening as all the events are lit up and large crowds gather around Covent Garden area to enjoy the street artists and a glass of wine at one of the many pubs in the area.

The most visited sights within the first zone are normally the London Eye and the South Bank area as there is lots going on in this part such as the London Dungeons new event and the play park and street vendors.

You can also look out for vouchers and discounts on entry to the main attractions or try and visit some of the museums which are free to enter.
