By Bus
London's bus network is among the biggest in the world, operating 24 hours a day, with 8,000 buses, 700 bus routes, as well as over six million passenger journeys made every weekday. In 2003, the network's ridership was estimated at over 1.5 billion passenger trips per year, more than the Underground.
Around £850 million is drawn in revenue every year. London has the most significant wheelchair available network on the planet and, from the 3rd quarter of 2007, became much more obtainable to hearing and visually impaired passengers as audio-visual announcements were launched. The distinctive red double-decker buses are internationally recognised, and are a trademark of the London transport system.
By Car:
Though the majority of journeys involving Central London are made by public transport, car travel is normal in the suburbs. The inner ring road (around central London), the North and South Circular roads (in the suburbs), as well as the outer orbital motorway (the M25, outside the built-up area) encircle the city and are intersected by numerous busy radial routes—but very few motorways penetrate into inner London. The M25 is today generally known as the longest ring-road motorway in the world.
By Air:
Heathrow is the UK's most important airport and it is London’s largest. Located on the western borders of the city, Heathrow is also certainly one of Europe’s leading international hubs. Close to 63 million passengers from across the world travel through Heathrow’s 4 (soon to be five) terminals each year.
Heathrow is only 15 miles outside the hub of London and is well linked with the public transportation system. You can take the Heathrow Express train to/from Paddington Station in the centre of London. The tube also offers 2 stations for Heathrow on the Piccadilly Line, which link directly from Kings Cross. Other extremely popular London Airports consist of Gatwick and Stansted.
