Walking is of course the cheapest, but not the most comfortable option

London’s public transport offers an affordable alternative

There are many things to be seen in London, and these sights are not all very close to each other. Therefore, it is very handy to use London’s public transport when you are visiting this city. Of course, this public transport is not free, but it is much less expensive than, for example, a taxi. You can buy separate tickets for every journey. However, when you travel a lot, it is advisable to buy day tickets or tickets for several days.
