Conseils aux voyageurs
Se déplacer dans les environs
Public transport is the easiest way to get around
I recommend downloading the Citymapper app to navigate the city via public transport. You can put your destination in from the apartment and it will tell you the quickest ways to get there via all types of transport (walk, bike, tube, bus, taxi, etc)
The TfL website or app is great for all types of information on transportation, strikes, etc
You cannot pay for public transport using cash - it is contactless card payment only
For taxis: Uber & Bolt are the most commonly used apps and are very similar priced
Renting bikes are very easy using the Santander cycles
Manières d'économiser
Mobile data
If you need a local SIM card for data, I recommend the app Airalo which allows you to download and install the SIM directly from the app onto your phone and is much cheaper than buying a physical SIM card
