Transport
  • Presidential Apartments Kensington

  • In 2003, London enforced a congestion charge for
    motorists coming into the city. The charge
    demonstrated that London was serious in its
    efforts to decrease the traffic in the city. It
    was determined to do its part to address
    environmental concerns. The move resulted in a
    successful crack-down on pollution. It brought
    down the number of incoming vehicles while it
    increased the number of cyclists by about 30.
  • London continues in its efforts to achieve
    sustainable transport. It continues to turn out
    policies promoting the welfare of cyclists and
    pedestrians. It continues to initiate and support
    projects that focus on the environment. It is
    apparent that the city is doing all that it can
    to reach its lofty goal to become the
    1st Ultra-Low Emission Zone in the world by the
    year 2020.
  • London pursues the following commendable
    initiatives

Cycling
  • TfL or Transport for London initiated the London
    Cycle Share Scheme in 2010. The initiative is now
    referred to as Santander Cycles. Two years after
    the projects introduction, records showed that
    people were using the ventures 8,000 bikes to go
    on about 19 million trips. The scheme is
    estimated to have encouraged half of its users to
    use cycling as the favoured mode of
    transportation. If you are staying in one of
    the serviced apartments London, you may want to
    consider going around the city on a bike.
  • Gensler, a global consulting firm in the field
    of architecture, planning, and design, is looking
    into the possibility of transforming some of
    Londons abandoned underground tunnels into
    pedestrian and cycle routes. There are also plans
    to make over an old industrialized park located
    in Islington into a commercial area with a bike
    park that can accommodate about 900 bicycles.

Public Transport
  • London is seriously considering using electric
    vehicles as a form of public transport. It has
    given one of its iconic double-decker buses a
    green transformation, making it the
    1st completely electric bus to serve the city.
  • There are firm plans for the Tube to run 24
    hours daily on week-ends. This will ensure that
    passengers will enjoy an environmentally-friendly
    and safe transport around-the-clock within the
    city.

5
Electric Cars
  • London is looking forward to imitating Paris
    lead and having more electric cars running on its
    streets. The Transport for London is working
    closely with Frances Blue Point London to roll
    out around 3,000 electric vehicles-for-hire
    across the city, similar to Pariss Autolib.
    London is also looking into having its own
    version of Cityscoot, the French capitals
    self-service scooter system.
  • Going around London is safe and convenient. You
    will not have any problem looking for excellent
    transportation, particularly if you stay in one
    of the conveniently located aparthotels London.
