Transport
The London Underground
railway (the tube), is London’s quickest and most
popular form of transport. It operates from about 5:30
am until just after midnight. You must buy a single
journey ticket or a weekly travel pass from a ticket
machine or booking office at the tube station. If you
are a full time student taking a course of 14 weeks
or more you may be eligible for the Student Photocard
Scheme which allows you to receive a 30% discount on
the tube. Please ask at the college.
Buses are cheaper but
slower. Fares are paid on the bus. A single fare costs
70p for a short trip within a zone, and £1.20
for zones 1 and 2. You can also buy a bus pass for the
bus only, which is slightly cheaper than a travelcard.
Night buses are the way many Londoners get home at night;
it is useful to know that they go through Trafalgar
Square.
