Or at least take buses rather than the tube in central London - the bus
system, these days, is far easier to use than it used to be, buses are
generally very frequent in central London (many lines run every 4-8
minutes), and they're rather faster since the introduction of the
congestion charge.

When using public transport of any kind in London, buy an Oyster card or
a travelcard (day/period pass). DO NOT pay cash fares - they're set
prohibitively high to encourage people to use Oyster cards and passes (a
single tube journey in Zone 1 is currently £).

I just don't know, I literally do not know who I am. It's all untested.
Am I funny? Am I sarcastic? Sexy? Right old misery? Life and Soul?
Right-handed? Left-handed? A Gambler? A Fighter? A coward? A traitor? A
liar? A nervous wreck? I mean, judging by the evidence I've certainly
got a gob!
