旅行者建议
出行
Bus is cheaper and you can enjoy the double deckers!
Transport: You can pay with your contactless card. By bus the fare is £1.5 and underground usually £2.4 to the centre. There is cap for the day around £6.60 meaning that once you paid that on a day, it shouldn’t charge more (daily fare). Alternatively you can get an Oyster card from the underground but that will cost £5. Neither bus or underground accept cash.
From the Flat to go to Picadilly, Soho, Chinatown… etc I advise you to take the bus 29 next to the fish and chips at the end of the road (Bus stop F), get to the upper deck and enjoy the ride, it is around 30min only! Same bus goes next to the Brisith Museum, Oxford Street, ends at Trafalgar Square, and runs 24h!

Useful apps
Apps to get around:
Maps me: will allow you to use the maps without the need of data from your mobile.
Citymapper: it will show you the different options of transport, bus stops, and fares and will notify you when to get down the bus!
Uber: if you need to get a taxi for any reason take a Uber instead as are way cheaper than the Black Cabs
