1. Do not use the Tube when youre in Central

  walk around the area. This will save you money
  and time.

2. Get an Oyster card

• If you want to get the cheapest fares possible
  and save a lot of money, you should get an Oyster
  card. You can use this card to pay for single
  trips on the Tube, bus, and tram. You can buy
  these cards at the TFL Travel Information Centers
  and Oyster ticket shops. Register your card with
  TFL and make sure that it has enough money to
  cover your trips. Go to the TFL website to check
  your card balance.

3. Consider other transportation options

• The Tube is fast and efficient, but it is not
  open 24 hours a day. The travel times differ from
  line to line, but most stations open at 5 a.m.
  and close at 1 a.m. Therefore, you might need to
  take a bus or a taxi if you plan to roam around
  the city past 1 a.m. As it is convenient to take
  public transports in London rather than roaming
  in your own car, book your stay at budget hotels
  in North London which offers you free parking
  space.

4. Do not travel during rush hour

• Many locals are grumpy and impatient during rush
  hours so its best to travel after 9 a.m. If you
  want to stay calm and youre not in a hurry, wait
  a little longer and take the Tube after the
  morning rush hour. You can also avoid rush by
  booking your stay at hotels in North London.

• During busy hours, allow people to go off the
  Tube first before going in. This is the polite
  thing to do and a lot of locals do this.

• Pregnant women usually wear a baby on board
  badge. So, when you see a pregnant woman on board
  trying to find a seat, be prepared to give up
  yours.

left and stand on the right

• This is the most sacred rule in the London Tube
  stations. Locals do this and you should, too.

8. Get the London Underground app

• This app can help you plan your journeys outside
  peak hours. This app can also help you get cheap
  fares. Plus, it can help you check the lines
  status and see if there are possible delays and
  alternative routes.

9. Take off your backpack when you are inside the
train

• The Tube can get crowded, especially during rush
  hour. So, if youre toting a backpack, take it
  off to save space. Also you can visit Londons
  top attractions and take rest in the peace
  surrounding area of hotels in Cricklewood London.

  loud, boisterous, rowdy people. Avoid making loud
