THE LONDON UNDERGROUND When you arrive at Heathrow airport, the quickest way to get to the centre of London is by train Heathrow Express or by the underground (the Tube). This sign shows the entrance to a station on the London Underground.

The price of a ticket depends on the distance you travel to and the time of day. There are 6 zones. When you travel out of zone 1, which is the central zone, you pay more. So, one journey costs £4-6. TICKETS AND TRAVELCARDS A Travelcard is a one-day ticket on London transport. You can use the same travelcard on any bus and the Tube for as many journeys as you like all day. A daily travelcard is cheaper if you buy it after 9.30 a.m. when the morning rush hour is over (off-peak).

THE DOUBLE-DECKER BUS Most London buses are red. They are not as popular as the Tube because they get stuck in traffic. But they go everywhere.

TAXIS London taxis are often called black cabs. Taxis are expensive but good if there is a group of 3 or 4 of you. Taxi-drivers, or cabbies, are proud of their knowledge of London. They spend up to 4 years learning the best routes before they get their license.

BICYCLES There are many cyclists on the roads in London. Cycling can be unhealthy. Some cyclists wear masks to protect themselves from the exhaust fumes. PEDESTRIANS Cars in Britain drive on the left. Be careful when crossing the road. Sings under your feet remind you where to look before stepping on the road. Is cycling encouraged in Moscow? In what ways?

TRAINS AND COMMUTERS One million people commute into central London every day. They travel by train, Tube or bus from the suburbs into the city centre to work.
