When you arrive in London, there are many ways to travel about, but be prepared for some aching feet too!
Travelcards give you unlimited travel on the Underground(also known as the Tube), buses and trains．Buy them for a day, a week or a month from train or Underground stations and at newsagents displaying a red“pass agent”sign．You will need a photograph for the week and month passes．
If you take a London Transport bus for your destination, check that you are going in the right direction and try not to pay with a large note．Ask the driver or conductor to help you if you are not sure at which stop you need to get off．
Black(newer ones could be a different colour)taxi cabs can be stopped in the street when they have a yellow“For Hire”sign lit up．Other taxis(minicabs)should only be used if you book them－do not take one in the street．
The Underground is easy to use as long as you know your exact destination－just study the Tube maps and follow the signs in the station．Zones 1 and 2 cover the centre of London with services operating every few minutes from about 05∶30 to midnight on most routes．
A good way of seeing much of London from a different perspective is by taking a boat trip along the Thames．There are many places(piers)to boards from and there are several companies offering their services．“City Cruises”provide return trips from Westminster Bridge, Tower Bridge and Greenwich．A special unlimited daily travel ticket can be bought for a very reasonable price(see advert)．Ring 02077 400 400 for details or go to www.citycruises.com．
After London, many visitors want to see more of Britain．There are many interesting and beautiful places and areas from which to choose, such as Oxford, Cambridge, York, Stratford-up-on-Avon(speak to your social organizer)．Scotland is for many a“ must see”destination and MacBackpackers(see advert)is a company specializing in the provision of guided tours for young travelers．Tours depart from Edinburgh every day and prices are very reasonable．Call 0131 5589900 for details or visit www. macbackpackers.com．You can also book holidays and flights at the travel office of International Students House(see advert)．Call 020 7631 8300．
