Transportation in London

After the bomb attacks that happened in London last year, black cabs were preferred to public transportation because they offer a secure and convenient door to door service. But, be aware; one should always pay attention and ensure that he is using a licensed taxi or private hire vehicle booked through a licensed operator. Unlicensed cabs are numerous and illegal but also and above all, uninsured and often dangerous.

You can also choose one of these two other ways for visiting London during the summer, I mean cycling and walking. If you can avoid the rain, you can practice with your bike in more than 500km of London Cycle Network and explore countless cycle paths through London’s green spaces. Enjoy yourself… London is the fastest growing cycling city in Europe.
Walking is a great way to make short journeys around the capital in a sunny afternoon. Actually most of the historical monuments are located in the center an walking from to the other is very easy thanks to the help of friendly Londoners… ? Just to add an other piece of advice: be aware; “LOOK RIGHT” any time you want to cross a street!

Nowadays, security has been enhanced across the transport network in London. In fact, the easiest way to get around London is, for sure, by public transport. Tubes, trams DLR and buses can be found in nearly each street corner. The only handicap being the price, the cheapest way to pay for single journeys is the Oyster card. In it, you can store cash to pay as you go. The system will then always charge you each day less than the price of a day-travel-card but it will always stay more expensive than in Paris.
