Planning your first trip to London can be an exciting event to look forward too. There is so much to see in this city that never sleeps between historic sights and shows and evenings out in bars and clubs you will be hard pushed to see everything on your first visit.
The City Airport has direct public links into the city itself either by bus or the DLR network which is a light railway network which offers a speedy way into the centre. No need to panic about tickets for the train as they can be purchased after you have landed but before you board the train.
Wondering how you will manage to travel around the big city then try the underground. The city has a great metro system which reaches all around the inner part of London as well as connecting you with the outer suburbs. Travellers can purchase a daily , weekly or monthly ticket depending on how long you will be staying in the city. The underground has lots of maps for you to take away and study or if you have a smart phone you can search the web for your journey planner.
A lot of people are put off with the London underground due to the volume of people who use the tube each day and also trying to work out your route. Having been to the city many times I can understand the reasoning behind this train of thought. Due to this many people decide to walk to where ever they plan to go that day in the city. This can be tiring especially if your hotel is far from the venues. Walking in London is fine for some journeys but I would advise walking around the city for all of your holiday. You could perhaps try the red buses if you are afraid to use the metro. Tickets are purchased before you board the bus from a machine beside the bus stance. Destinations are on the front of the bus or by the bus stance giving you information on where to board and alight.
Heading off to visit one of the many theaters in the west end is a perfect treat for all the family to see and enjoy. Each night there are shows on all the venues including shows suitable for families. Advance purchase of tickets is advisable due to popular demand even on a school night. You can buy your tickets online before you travel or wait until you arrive in London .
The most visited sights within the first zone are normally the London Eye and the South Bank area as there is lots going on in this part such as the London Dungeons new event and the play park and street vendors.
London can be expensive but with a little planning you can make use of the free sights combined with booking in advance for events will hopefully make your holiday manageable.
