Need advice

Shok · 01-28-2004

Ok Im heading to London week after next.

What's the deal with the "Tube"?

How do I work it, I have read the official Tube website and there are about 4,000 payment options. I want to do something easy like by a travel pass for a few days, do they offer that?

I don't know why this bugs me, but I am now consumed with the Tube.

haha yeah I thought about that but I also heard that London taxi's are like super expensive

Peaches · 01-28-2004

It's just a subway like any other subway. Go to the ticket counter when you first ride it and see if you can buy a pass.

Hopefully Sarah will see this and give you more info

You can buy a one day travel pass that lets you use all the buses and the tube within the zones you buy, probably 1-2 will do you unless you plan on going to Wimbledon or some other place on the outskirts.

Shok · 01-28-2004

yeah I think 1 and 2 zones will cover me...is the Cutty Sark in zone 2?

Not sure if you can get the tube to Greenwich.
You can cross over the river by foot though, or take the water taxi, from near the tower of London,
it's quite a nice boatride down the Thames and not crazily expensive.

Don't forget to visit the Greenwich meantime line,
a classic tourist photo if there ever was one,

This is coming from the guy who told my wife we should go with him, London is only a 6 hour flight from Dallas!

Speaking from experience, 2 hours on a plane with Shok is bad enough.

okay to the resscue- to Greenwich ( I live in the area) there is a tube line - Jubilee Line - BUT that isn't what you want for the Cutty Sark. The tube line takes you to the Dome, which isn't open now and it more in the Charlton area.

HOWEVER, if you do want to go to the Cutty Sark and all in the actual hub of Greenwich it couldn't be easier these days. You go on the DLR (docklands light railway) and there is an actual Cutty Sark stop whiere you litteraly go right up the stairs and the Cutty Sark is right there. The Royal Observetry (where the prime meridian stuff is) is up the hill through a normally beautiful park.

Hang on, I wrote something for a website once about Greenwich..let me see if I can get it.

Here read this: http://www.bootsnall.com/europetravelguide...p02london.shtml

Also, don't just get a tube card. Get a travel card which allows you to use all the busses, trains, dlr and the tube with just the one card. I don't know how many days you are planning on being here but if you buy it daily it is just under £5 a day and it a real bargin as one bus trip is £1 these days (just recently changed to that)

Also, this is a crappy little web page I do but some people have said it helped - http://london-travel-tips.com/

Any questions, just ask.
