Learn from the London insider!

Planning a trip to London soon? If you're a novice like me you can read on. Just skip it if you're already an expert! Muahahahaha.

Based on Westminster area.


Thank you for the greeting! 

 

Westminster District. I prefer to stay in this area because of its close proximity with almost everything in London.

LONDON TRANSPORTATION
 

Central London
By tube / underground 11 colour-coded lines cover the central area and suburbs, run by TfL.

By Docklands Light Railway (DLR) Runs only in the east of the city, providing links with London City Airport, Canary Wharf/Docklands, Stratford (For Westfield Stratford City and the Olympic site) and Greenwich, privately run but part of TfL's network.

By boat Commuter boats and pleasure cruises along the River Thames, privately run but part of TfL's network.

Airport Express Express rail services run to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton airports (tickets are generally sold at a premium), privately run and not part of the TfL network.

Suburban London
By tram (Tramlink) A tram service that operates only in southern suburbs around Wimbledon and Croydon.

By Overground Orange-coloured lines circling the northern suburbs; connecting Stratford (For Westfield Stratford City and the Olympic site) with Richmond Upon Thames. At Highbury and Islington it is possible to connect to Croydon and Crystal Palace in South London via the East End. There is also an interchange for Barking in East London at Gospal Oak and a line connecting Euston Station with Watford Junction in Hertfordshire. Another line runs from Willsden Junction in North West London to Clapham Junction in south via Shephard's Bush (For Westfield). At Clapham you can connect to Brighton,Gatwick Airport, Southampton and other points south. Part of TfL's network.

By National Rail A complex network of suburban rail services, mostly running in the southern suburbs, but also connecting to some areas to the north. privately run and not part of the TfL network, although all operators now accept Oyster payments. 


Tube etiquette

Beware of pickpockets.

Drinking alcohol or smoking anywhere on the underground is illegal.

When using the escalators, always stand on the right to allow people in a hurry to pass. If you are standing on the left people will occasionally ask grumpily for you to get out the way, especially during rush hour when commuters are far less forgiving.

Allow passengers to get off the train before boarding yourself by standing to the right or to the left of the train doors.

Move down the carriages if standing during busy periods

Have your Oyster card or ticket ready for the top of the escalators so not to obstruct barriers.

Be careful at the ticket barrier of people coming up close behind you in an attempt to get through the barrier on your ticket. This isn't a huge problem, but it does happen.

Some platforms in Zone 1 have the words "Mind the Gap" written on the platform edge. When the train stops, the carriage doors will usually line up with this warning.

Give up your seat to the elderly and those less able to stand, especially if the seat is reserved for such a purpose.

Never try to board or leave a train when the door warning (a rapidly-repeating high pitch beep) is sounding. Many older trains are not fitted with sensors to detect if the doors are blocked and it's all too easy to become stuck in the doors, although the train cannot start if the doors are still open.
