City transport
London's transport network is among the most complex and
expensive in the world. The London Transport (LT) travel
information office , at Piccadilly Circus tube station (daily
9am-6pm), will provide free transport maps; there are other desks
at Euston Station, Heathrow (terminals 1, 2 and 3), King's Cross,
Liverpool Street, Paddington and Victoria stations. There's also a
24-hour phone line for transport information (tel 020/7222 1234),
and a Web site giving real-time travel news (
www.londontransport.co.uk). If you can, avoid travelling
during the rush hour (Mon-Fri 8-9.30am & 5-7pm) when
tubes become unbearably crowded, and some buses become full to
overflowing.
