🔥Travelcards(161) Staff – Hi Sandra. The journey is zones 2-4, but you can you only buy a weekly or monthly travelcard covering that. If you want to buy a day travelcard then it would have to be zones 1-4
Park Royal station(10) Staff – Hi Robert. If we’re talking about the Holiday Inn Express Park Royal then it’s actually closer to North Acton station. The easiest way is to get the Victoria line from Euston to Oxford Circus, and then change onto the Central line for North Acton. The hotel is literally next-door to that – transport/train-journey.php?from=euston&to=north-acton
Blackhorse Road station(5) Staff – Hi David, it should be. TFL usually list them here if they’re not working – tfl.gov.uk/status-updates/stations-lifts-and-escalators-works-and-closures#b
🔥Bus fares(51) Staff – Hi Brit. You could get the No.2 bus, which goes direct from Victoria Station to Dorset Street in 16 minutes, which is the closest stop to Crawford Street – tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/2/?direction=inbound
🔥Child train fares(55) Staff – Hi Karo. You only have to do it once, then it lasts for two weeks
Wembley Park station(8) Carole – Thanks for response….we are now half way through September so not sure why they class as Autumn….thats a pain as mobility problems rule out walking up to Bridge Street entrance
Walthamstow Central station(2) Staff – Hi Mary. There are no notices listed by TFL, so as far as we know it should be working – tfl.gov.uk/status-updates/stations-lifts-and-escalators-works-and-closures#w
St. Paul’s station(12) Staff – Hi Paul. St. Paul’s Hammersmith church is nowhere near St. Paul’s tube station (the tube station is near St. Paul’s Cathedral). It’s a 3 hour walk. You need to get a train to transport/trains.php?station=hammersmith instead, then it’s just a 5 minute walk
Tower Hill station(10) Staff – Hi Deet, it’s literally just over the road. You’ll see it when you come out of the station
🔥Waterloo station(29) Staff – Hi Roger, it’s about 7 miles so it would be around £37 to £50
Oxford Circus station(10) Staff – Hi Michael. It’s about a ten minute walk down Oxford Street, probably not even that
🔥Train fares(48) Staff – Hi Cinesimon, normally we’d say pay contactless with your bank card, but assuming you don’t have a UK bank card, you’re better off just buying single tickets. It’s not worth buying an Oyster card for an overnight trip, because you also have to pay a deposit on top (unless you think you might use the oyster card again on a future trip). Travelling from Heathrow to Stratford on the London Underground (Piccadilly line and Central line) will be cheaper than travelling on the Elizabeth line, but it will also take a lot longer. You can see the zone 1-6 fare in the table above
Tootbus Tour(7) Craig – Hi JohnH. It really depends on what sights you want to see. It’s not possible to walk between them all because the touristy part of London is too big. You can walk the area between Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben & Parliament, Covent Garden… and maybe up to St. Paul’s if you’re feeling very energetic, but including all of the stuff around the Square Mile, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London in one day will be too much
Bermondsey station(4) Staff – Hi Steve. Assuming you mean the football ground it’s quite a distance if you’re walking – about 30 minutes down Drummond Road and Silwood Street. If you catch the P12 bus it’s about 20 minutes
Shepherd’s Bush Market station(2) Staff – Hi Beverley. Yes, it can. It can take you anywhere inside the Oyster zones – content.tfl.gov.uk/standard-tube-map.pdf
🔥No.26 (London’s cheapest sightseeing bus)(27) Tom – I use this bus to get to work and always enjoy watching the tourists as it passes all the famous places 😆 Sometimes it makes me feel like a tourist myself. I love london
Temple station(6) Staff – Hi PH. If you turn left up the steps when you come out of the station, and walk up Arundel Street which is right in front of you, then you can walk along Fleet Street past St. Clement Danes, past the Royal Courts of Justice, and past Temple Bar in the middle of the road (these are all well-worth seeing). When you get to the Tudor-looking building called Prince Henry’s Room walk through the black archway underneath, and that will take you to Temple Church
How to check your Oyster balance(8) Staff – Hi Angelinwa. There are a couple of things you can do. Oyster has something called ’One More Journey’ when travelling on the bus (but not the train). If you don’t have enough credit to pay a whole fare then it will still let you travel, but you’ll end up with a negative balance. You won’t be able to travel again until you top it up. But you do need some money on the card. It can’t be completely empty. It’s described here: tfl.gov.uk/fares/find-fares/bus-and-tram-fares#on-this-page-7 – The other thing you can do is tap it against a yellow reader on a ticket machine at a train station when you arrive in London. The touchscreen will then give you the option of viewing your balance. Or you can ask them to tell you the balance at one of the Visitor Centres – but only if you’re arriving into Euston, King’s Cross, Liverpool Street, Paddington, Piccadilly Circus, Victoria or Heathrow airport. They don’t have them anywhere else
Clapham Common station(4) Staff – Hi Pamela. Clapham Common North Side is a long road and it depends which bit you want. It could be anything from 7-20 mins walk
Tottenham Hale station(13) Staff – Hi Cordelia. There’s a designated drop off and pick up point on the same side of the road as the station itself. It’s only big enough for five cars though – nationalrail.co.uk/stations/tottenham-hale/
🔥How to top-up Oyster cards(16) Staff – Hi Julie. If you register your oyster card on TFL’s website then you can bring up a journey history and print out a statement (note: you can only register the blue Oyster cards, not Visitor Oyster cards) – contactless.tfl.gov.uk/
🔥Jason’s Trip(18) Craig – Hi Delfi. They say: ’We can accommodate a child’s buggy / stroller, provided it can be folded down prior to boarding’
