To London by train—travel tips

London is the destination of many travelers, and knowing more about the city can make your vacation more memorable, especially with tips that could save you money and make your trip more organized. One great tip is to pack appropriately. London weather is often unpredictable, and one day it can be sunny while the next chilly. Perhaps the best piece of clothing you can pack is a scarf. It’s versatile and will keep you warm in the event it does get cold, especially if you go into the Cotswolds. You should pack clothes that you can layer, from light shirts to middle weight sweaters and pants.

A great way to save is to fly into lesser-known airports and take a bus, taxi, or train into London. The UK has a great train and bus system, and it’s easy to access stops and underground Tube system. If you are staying in London more than a few days, it’s worth it to get an Oyster Card. It’s a pay-as-you-go card for all public transportation in the city, and getting one will save you a bundle.

Another big tip is to study the language. Sure, it’s still English, but British English is far different than American English, so learning the words and phrases they use will make your trip more enjoyable.
