  1. 1. There are always Tube stations nearby.

    2. London may be digger geographically in New York but tourists stay in a small area relative to the overall size of it.

    3. Before I went the first time it took me 3 seconds to learn there were two Tates. It’s called a guide book.

  2. “Trains aren’t near by like NYC”? I visited NYC on a few occasions and I can assure you that you will walk a lot further if you’re going to rely on the trains than in London.

  3. The London Underground is actually underground, some lines are a150 foot below the surface, eating out in London is expensive and these restaurants need reservations and they’re anonymous, Ramsay isn’t out the back with his frying pan for instance, nor are any of the other..’ celebrity’..chefs anywhere near their restaurants

  4. Unless you are in the suburbs (unlikely for a tourist) then tube stations are very close, some are only a few minutes walk apart and it can be quicker to walk. Good news is that the bus network is also extensive and very easy to navigate with Google maps. As a tourist you have to ride on a red London bus at some point, its iconic.

    There are very few reasons to use a uber or black cab in inner London unless you have a physical disability in which case the underground isn't the best unfortunately though it is getting better.

  5. When I went to London, I made sure to bring my sneakers….the good ones, not the fashion ones. And I’m so glad I did because I walked so much and I never felt tired. And also be sure to bring a lightweight rain jacket- the weather changes quite often.

  6. You clearly don't know London, lol. So inaccurate about transport in London. The tube there is way more extensive than the subway in NYC. And London's buses are faster and better with dedicated bus lanes. A great and cheap way to see London is the front seat upstairs on a double decker bus!

  7. London central tubes are way more accessible than in Manhattern. The trains arrive at most platforms every three minuites! Busses are like red blood cells running through your veins. I don't worry about getting lost as I know that coming by a subway is like coming across a park, an ATM or a bench. Busses are not expensive and go to all places. If you find it hard getting around to some place then you must be dizzy. An Oyster card is cheaper to use than by purchasing tickets by destination. It saves a lot of money in the long run. I've been to NY three times for a week and I had to plan my routes like a military operation. In central London it is nice and easy to get to any destinations on foot. People who hate on London who warn not to go there probably havnt been. Most likely Eastern Europeans from countries having a shitty economy who're almost broke by British standards before they even get there! Best then to go in an Eastern direction than go West as the British pound is strong.

  8. If you can afford it, get a Zone 1-6 travelcard if you are staying a week. It might be expensive initially but it is super convenient

  9. I just don’t get it when I see American tourists whining about every day stuff like public transport, busy tourist locations (they of course add to the crowds) and all that walking. Should we move all those neighbourhoods that have grown over the past 2000 years so they don’t exhaust themselves. It’s a good thing she ended up at the ‘right’ Tate. Don’t they do any research?
