London's public transport system is one of the busiest and largest in Europe, and has all the overcrowding problems to match. The worst and busiest times to travel are in the two rush hours, between 8am and 9.30 am or later, from 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm. Within London and its suburbs, most of the public transport is organized by London Regional Transport (LRT). This consists of various types of bus, the Underground system, and Network South- East (an overland train system which is operated by British Rail).

In the USA, if a street-car, bus or train is going towards the centre it is said to be going downtown. If it is going away from the centre it is said to be going uptown. In England buses going to the centre are called inward bound; those going away from the centre, outward bound.

The Underground (the 'tube') is usually by far the quickest way of travelling around London. Services are, however, prone to delays and the trains are often crowded. Changing lines may involve a longish walk at some stations.

Public transport in London is expensive compared with many cities in Europe because levels of government subsidy are low, and the distances are great. Short trips are relatively more expensive than the longer journeys; it is rarely worthwhile getting on a tube to travel just one stop. By far the most economical tickets are Travelcards (including Family Travelcards and Photocards) — daily, weekly or monthly passes that offer the best value and allow unlimited travel on all forms of transport in the zones you require: six bands, called travel zones, extend from the city centre into the outer suburbs. The price of your ticket depends on how many zones you travel through. Most of London's main sights are located in zone one.

Carnet is a book of ten single tickets for travel on the Underground in Zone 1 only. Each ticket must be validated by passing it through the ticket gate at the start of the journey.

You must buy the right ticket for your destination before you begin your journey or you will be liable to a Penalty Fare. The Underground stations have automatic ticket gates. Insert your ticket and the gate will open. Retrieve your ticket as you walk through. When leaving the station, if the value of travel on your ticket has been used up, the gate will open for you, but the machine will keep your ticket. So keep your ticket — you will need it at the end of your journey.
