Getting from the Airports to central London
The fastest way to get to London City from Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports is to take an Express train to one of the train stations connecting to the Underground System and Bus Network. The cost of the train ticket is 14-16 GBP. From London City airport the best way is to take the Dockland Light Railway (DLR) which easily connects to the Underground. Luton airport is served by several bus companies, the cheapest being easy bus. Taxi rides through the city centre may take long time due to traffic congestion.
Local transportation
There are different modes of transport in London including London Underground ("the Tube"), National Rail, DLR, Tramlink and Airport Express trains. Fortunately for visitors there is a single ticketing system, Oyster card, which enables travellers to switch between modes of transport on one ticket. An Oyster card can be bought for a £2 deposit. Credit is then added to the card and it is used on a pay as you go system. An alternative to Oyster cards would be to buy a Visitor Travel card – you can either buy 1 day or 7 day cards. The price for a 7-day card is £47.60.
