Central London Living

You'll see all the different ways to travel to your destination, time, ticket prices.

Although it's very "London like" to catch a black cab on the street, Uber will be safer & cheaper.

No need to buy an expensive Thames cruise ticket (usually around £20 per person) - instead pay with your topped up Oyster card before boarding and use Thames Clipper. This is the official Transport For London river boat that will cost you only £7-12 depending on what route you want to take. You can see their route map & timetable on the Citymapper application also.

Cheapest is to pay-as-you-go. If you only travel around by buses that day, you'll be capped at £4.50 (3 bus rides) and after that you ride the buses for free that day. Also there's a 1 hour "Hopper fare" in London - within one hour you can take as many different buses you need to get to your destination, and you'll only be charged for one fare £1.50 (This only applies to bus travel, not mixing bus & tube) If you mix bus& tube travel, still cheaper to pay as you go instead of a "day ticket".

London offers loads of free walking tours (themed ones about Jack The Ripper, or Harry Potter, or famous rock music places) - you need to google & book in advance though. After the free tour you'll usually have the opportunity to give a cash tip to the tour guide.
