Getting around... London



The London Tube Map is iconic. And the system of subterranean railway lines that was pioneered here is very well known all around the world. These underground lines stretch far out into the suburbs of the London Metropolis. Many still run through the old Victorian tunnels. Apart from the network of underground railway lines London boasts a system of all pervasive public transport in the form of overground trains, commuter trains to outlying areas, trams around Croydon and the no less iconic double-decker bus.
