London
« on: April 17, 2011, 08:38:35 AM »
My youngest and me will be travelling around London next weekend.  What is the best value way to get about and if I want to take a black cab should I book ahead or order at the hotel. 

Any suggestions  and dont say use the horse!

Are you staying in centralish London. In which case I wouldn't worry about ordering a cab.

Cheapest way to get around is to buy a travelcard  ( there is off peak and peak time variations depending on times you wish to travel) .

Don't pay for  single journeys on the tube as  they are a ridiculous price £4  eeek:

Check what lines are open that weekend though if you are needing to go to certain places - weekend engineering works are a constant source of pleasure  evil:

Plus, think about getting an Oyster card for the day(s), travel anywhere on public transport  rubschin:

My son is a White Hart Lane fan.    He doesnt take after my side of the family... sport wise.  I was thinking of getting a black cab from the hotel in Kensington to and from the match.  Mainly cos I am a coward I would happily spend the £100 quoted to get there and back and reduce the event to the minimum time.  I have never been to a football match and am not looking forward to it.  For the rest of the weekend I am happy to use public transport.

Thanks Miss D and Pastis for the excellent advice.

TBH Tipsy it would probably be much quicker on public transport .

Circle Line from Kensington to Victoria .

Victoria Line to Seven Sisters ... ..short walk from there

I have been to White Hart Lane many times  lol:
