Travel tips for London
- Use a contactless card (Visa or Mastercard) directly on London's Tube and buses — it caps your daily spending automatically at the daily Travelcard rate.
- Pret a Manger, Itsu, and EAT are the UK's quality fast-casual chains — a much better lunch than tourist-adjacent restaurants at a fraction of the cost.
- London has two major airports: Heathrow (LHR) for most long-haul flights and Gatwick (LGW). Confirm your arrival airport — the Gatwick Express (30 min, ~£20) is separate from the Heathrow Tube line.
- Uber operates in London but traditional black cabs (hailed on the street) use metered pricing that's often comparable for shorter journeys and are guaranteed to know their way.
- Pubs have strict hours — last orders are typically called at 10:50pm, with closing at 11pm, regardless of crowd. This is not negotiable.
Local insider tip
London has some of the world's best Indian food — a legacy of the British-South Asian community. Brick Lane in East London and Southall in west London are the two great hubs. For the quality of cooking, prices are remarkably low compared to central London dining.
