London is a great city to visit.

A traditional symbol of London, for many people, is the red double-decker bus. A
sightseeing tour of the city from a double-decker bus is a great way to see this historical city.
Today, however, you will see lots of single-decker buses, bendy buses and eco-friendly buses,
too. Tickets can be bought from machines at the bus stops or on the buses themselves. Travellers
should make sure that they have the correct change, or the driver may refuse to take them. Under-
16s travel for free.
The river Thames also offers transport links for locals and visitors. For tourists who wish to
see London`s riverside attractions, a riverboat cruise is a must. Tours last for about an hour and
guides provide a commentary on the various sights along the way. Some longer cruises also offer
lunch or dinner.
London`s black cabs are famous and seem to have been around forever. Londoners use
these taxis to go around, safe in the knowledge that their `cabbie` will find the quickest possible
route to their destination.
Another type of cab that also operates in London is the minicab. Unlike black cabs, they cannot be
hailed in the street. Instead, they must be ordered in advance by phoning a minicab office.
The underground, or the Tube, is by far the most popular way to get around city. It may not
be the cheapest mode of transport, but it is fast and convenient. There are 12 lines and 275
stations, so whenever you are probably close to a Tube station.
