Best advise would be to get a off-peak day pass, price differs depending on what zones you are in, but its much better value than the oyster-money just seems to disappear on those and enables you to go on any tube/train or bus around london great for the tourist. More

Staff at stations very friendly, so ask for help interpretting tube map if needed. although I must say it's so easy to... More

when they say that the trains will arrive in 1 minute, they are telling the truth! the only thing that was annoying was the closing of some lines at the weekend but as you could change over to buses instead it was ok! More

Just finished spending 10 days in London. After being intimidated by New York City subways...The Tube is a breeze. I loved going all over using this transportation. People are helpful if you have questions I recommend getting the oyster pass. Be careful not to lose it. More
