London - England / View learning centers

London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom. It is the most populous city in the United Kingdom and is the largest city of Europe.

The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners). This extensive network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the centre of the city quickly. 

Each line has its own unique colour so its easy to identify each line on maps and signs throughout the system. It's almost a necessity to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard.  

Outside of the centre of London, Tube stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps.  Also, the budget-conscious will find that the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey. The bus stops are well signposted and each stop gives information about all the bus destinations, alternative stops nearby for other buses, frequency, etc. On most routes buses are frequent during normal Monday-Friday. 

Single tickets (underground): starting at the price of £4.50 (Zone 1 - 3)

Bus ticket: £2.20 -  £1.30 if using an Oyster Card 

Monthly pass:  £98.00 ( Zone 1 - 3)
