The London Underground rail network, or “the Tube” is a great way to travel to and from Central London and will be an integral part of most people’s stay in the UK capital.

London Buses

London’s famous red buses are a quick, convenient and cheap way to travel around the city, with plenty of sightseeing opportunities along the way.

London River Bus Services

Traveling by river is a great way to get around London. You’ll beat the traffic and soak up some fantastic views along the way!

Thames river bus services are popular with commuters and visitors to London alike. They are faster and more frequent than other river tour services and some boats have refreshments and Wi-Fi. They also offer an opportunity to see London’s famous landmarks from the water; but unlike river tours, they generally do not offer commentary.

River buses are the great value and serve six different routes with destinations between Putney and Woolwich Arsenal.

London Taxis

From iconic London black cabs to local minicabs, we’ve got all the information you need to help you travel around London by taxi.

Complete your London experience with a ride in one of the city’s black cabs. London’s official taxis, black cabs can be hailed in the street or at designated ranks situated in prominent places, including many mainline rails, Tube and bus stations. They can also be booked by telephone.

Emirates Air Line

You can book a return or a 360° tour – a non-stop return journey – by buying a 360° tour Boarding Pass at the ticket office from £7.80 per adult or from £4.80 per child.
