London is one of the world's most visited cities — and also one of the most rewarding for travellers who know how to navigate it. A comprehensive London travel guide starts with transport: the Tube (London Underground) is the backbone of city travel, supplemented by the Overground, Crossrail (Elizabeth line), buses, and — for shorter journeys in zones 1-2 — your own feet. An Oyster card or contactless payment card is essential; single-journey cash tickets are prohibitively expensive. Accommodation ranges from world-class luxury hotels to budget chains and hostels — the key is getting location right. Zones 1-2 cost more but save time and transport costs. Weather is famously unpredictable — a waterproof layer is never wasted. Free museums (British Museum, Natural History Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, V&A) represent extraordinary value for money. London rewards multiple visits across different seasons — the city genuinely changes with the calendar.

London is one of Europe's most expensive cities. However, many of its greatest attractions are free (most major museums). Budget travellers can manage on £60-80/day excluding accommodation. Mid-range travellers should budget £150-250/day all-in.
The London Underground (Tube) is the fastest way across the city. Use a contactless card or Oyster card — always cheaper than cash. Walking is the best option within zones 1-2 for distances under 30 minutes.
