Tips for underground:
- Avoid travelling during the rush hours if at all possible
- Check the front of the train for the correct destination
- Stand on the right when using escalators
Oyster Card prices are always cheaper than single tickets for the Tube. For example, a single journey in Zone 1 is £4, which is £2.10 more than the Oyster fare. However if you are travelling a lot by underground during the day in zone 1-2, it might be very helpful if you will but day travel card which costs £6.50 and you can travel anywhere you want.
Also there are some benefits about oyster cards, if you are a student you get 30% discount. For more information just check the website: www.tfl.gov.uk
There are a lot of websites which could help you to plan your tip around London: choose a tube station/ postcode/ address or place of interest and add the date and time you want to start the journey. In case if there is some reconstruction work or delays the website will let you know ant it will plane another alternative journey for you.
I always go to www.tfl.gov.uk, because it always has gives me a lot of potions, and alternative ways.

Pretty helpful stuff - not just for those new to the UK, also anyone in London and not a Londoner. Nicola
