Getting Here

By Bus:

 

London's bus network is just about the biggest in the world, operating twenty-four hours a day, with 8,000 buses, 700 bus routes, as well as over six million passenger journeys made every single weekday. In 2003, the network's ridership was estimated at exceeding 1.5 billion passenger trips a year, a lot more than the Underground. Close to £850 million is drawn in earnings every year.

 

London has the most important wheelchair accessible network on the planet and, from the 3rd quarter of 2007, grew to become much more obtainable to hearing and visually impaired travellers as audio-visual announcements were presented. The eye-catching red double-decker buses are internationally recognised, and are a trademark of the London transport system.

 

By Car:

 

Though the majority of journeys involving Central London are made by public transport, car travel is normal within the suburbs. The inner ring road (around central London), the North and South Circular roads (in the suburbs), as well as the outer orbital motorway (the M25, outside the built-up area) encircle the city and are intersected by quite a few busy radial routes—but not many freeways penetrate into inner London. The M25 is nowadays often known as the longest ring-road motorway in the world.

 

By Air:

 

Heathrow is the UK's most critical airport terminal and it's also London’s biggest. Located on the western borders of the city, Heathrow is also undoubtedly one of Europe’s leading international hubs. Close to 63 million passengers from around the globe travel through Heathrow’s 4 (soon to be five) terminals each year.

 

Heathrow is only 15 miles outside the hub of London and is well linked along with the public transportation system. It is easy to take the Heathrow Express train to/from Paddington Station in the centre of London. The tube now offers 2 stations for Heathrow on the Piccadilly Line, which link directly from Kings Cross. Other increasingly popular London Airports are made up of Gatwick and Stansted.
