Getting Around London

Public transportation is the best way to get around London. You can chose to take the underground, a bus, a train or hire a bike to discover all the fantastic places London has to offer. The Tube, as Londoners call the underground, is the quickest and easiest way to get around.

The Tube

In Greater London, there are 12 tube lines, the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) and a local train network with interconnections. Service is generally available from 05.00 am from Monday to Saturday. It is to be noted that service is limited on Sundays. Please go to Transport for London for more information.

Here you can download London train, underground and bus maps:

Useful information before taking the Tube

Underground zones

There are 06 different concentric zones (zones 1 & 2 at the heart, zone 6 on the edge). If you are planning to come to London for a long-term program, we advise you to buy an Oyster card and/or a travelcard so that you can benefit from the best prices and avoid the queue. You must always hold a valid ticket when taking public transports. Otherwise, you could be given a fine.

The Oyster Card

The Oyster card is a pre-paid electronic card that can be used to travel with London public transports. The card has no use-by date and can be topped-up as much as needed. You top up your card with a certain amount of money and for each travel you make, your Oyster card is debited from the corresponding amount.

Travels are more affordable with the Oyster card than if you buy tickets at the ticket office or at automated ticket machines. A one-way ticket costs about 4 GBP. With the pre-paid Oyster Card it will cost you about 1.50 GBP. You have another possibility: you can buy a 07 days travelcard. This travelcard is one of the most widespread among tourists who spend little time in London.

Where can I buy the Oyster Card?

Tube train, London public transport, England, Learn English

You can buy it at any tube station. A 3 GBP refundable deposit is needed.

How can I recharge my Oyster Card?

You can recharge your card at touch in machines that you will find at any tube station. You can pay by coins or by credit/debit card.

For more information, please go to the Oyster Card website
