What to do and see in London, England: The Best Mass Transportation Systems
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Download the London app to your phone and it makes it really easy to get around. Either get an oyster card for ease or if you have a contactless card it's works a treat, you also hear some great bands when you are moving around underground Enjoy exploring

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,339 reviews
St Pancras International is one of the greatest Victorian buildings in London. It has become a key destination for Eurostar and high-speed rail in the UK, as well as a fantastic retail and hospitality destination. It has something for everyone - from the amazing Terrace Wires public arts installation to cornerstone and prestige retail outlets such as Fortnum & Mason, MAC and Chanel.

Absolutely love these bus routes on the No 49, 9 and 15 double decker. They take you past and right through all those amazing historic and important sites without having to pay much more than a standard Oyster card bus fare. Start in the Westend, trundle along Hyde Park, Trafalgar Square, posh Strand, past the High Courts, Fleetstreet, the Exchange, the Tower and all the way to Aldgate where the new London skyline glitters in shiny glass and steel. Try to grab one of the 4 front seats at the top for the best ride in town. Only sad thing about this is that you cannot do the hop on hop off, apparently due to a lack of money for an additional conductor at the back.

5. King's Cross Station

Clean station with plenty of screens to be able to check all train times. Our train was cancelled with short notice but there were lots of staff positioned near the screens to help out all the stranded passengers. A very large modern station but easy to navigate, just make sure you allow sufficient time to get to your platform. Beautiful architecture to look at as you wander around and lots of shops to browse if you have time to kill. King’s Cross is made famous from the Harry Potter books/films and often forms part of the London tour as fans can see Platform 9 ¾ and pose for photos with the trolley in the wall. There is a souvenir shop here too. Lots of places to grab some food on the go or sit inside for a drink and/or meal. Toilets are now free inside all train stations. Easy access to the London tube network from here.

During my last 2 trips to the UK I found Thameslink an affordable and fast way into London from Gatwick Airport. The scenery is pretty as well, passing through cute towns, lush countryside, with a sick view of London's landmarks as you arrive at London Bridge Station. Perhaps best of all, the customer service was the best part. Our flight was delayed last trip and we missed the time on our ticket. The staff instantly issued me and my friend new tickets and provided directions on how to access the trains below the airport.
7. Woolwich Ferry

The weather was wonderful for the time of visiting so we took a voyage on the Woolwich Ferry ⛴. We boarded and waited for the ferry to fill up with its traffic for the essential journey to the other side of the River Thames. As you glide the short way you get a wonderful view of the Thames Barrier with the skyline of Canary Wharf in the background see my picture below. Then before you know it we docked the other side,we disembarked walked pass the building that houses the foot tunnel, we declined this in this occasion and passed the old North Woolwich station ???? see on your internet for the history on this station. So in summary take this free ferry ⛴ you have to do this once if you are a Londoner.
