London Regional Transport

The easiest way to travel around London is by a London Regional Transport bus or underground train. These run from the centre of the city right out into the countryside.

British people queue up when waiting for a bus (and lots of other things!). They get very annoyed with queue-jumpers - people who don't wait their turn in the queue.

The London Underground - or 'tube' - has nine lines. It's very fast, and in Central London you're never more than a few minutes' walk away from a station.
