Hi
What is the cheapest and best way to get from London City Airport to Russell Square, for the Royal National Hotel. I booked a flight for my son and meant to do Heathrow but did LCY by mistake - he flys in to London City Airport tomorrow Sunday.
Hope someone can help me.

Googleing helps:

Maybe too late.......
The official airport website is also useful:

Cheapest and easiest way is to buy a Oyster or travelcard at the airport (City is in zone 3) or just buy an ordinary ticket. Then get the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) to Bank then the Tube to Russell Square.
There is plenty of scope for the dedicated bargain hunter. In London, you really need it.. Check out these links....

Londoners are very conscious of the fact that tourism brings a lot of money into the city, so they are (as a whole) very welcoming to tourists. People are very willing to help or answer questions, no matter where you are. I was in Trafalgar Square during some of the 200th Anniversary celebrations and people were very helpful as to what was going on. The subway personnel were more than patient with my questions. The people in the pubs were interested in my opinions of their city. Though I was alone much of the time, I never felt uncomfortable. Although petty crime is a problem like it is in many European cities, I didn't feel that people targeted me because i looked like a tourist. The kids in this picture got a few laughs from passing Londoners, but nothing more. In Lima, they probably would have been robbed of all of their valuables!
As I mentioned above, this is where you could relax after a long walk in the park...it is facing the thames and very ideal. It makes the days activity very enjoyable as you could reflect and arrive at a conclussion as to all you have seen as in my case.
There are warnings about tourist bring in Dogs that could chase the wild lives in the park?. So, if you are here with your Dogs, make sure that it is under chain, or well controled not to "play" with the Ducks, Geese, and other wild lives.
Long to Rain over us, as the Anthem goes.
Buckingham Palace is the London home and office of her Majesty the Queen, Elizabeth II. Originally turned into a palace by John Nash in the 1830s, the exterior was redesigned in the early 20th Century by Aston Webb. The first Monarch to live here was Queen Victoria, whose monument still adorns the Mall entrance. The Changing of the Guard takes place every two days at 10.30, except on rainy days when it is cancelled (and it rains a little bit in London...)
The Palace Gardens are the largest private gardens in the Capital, and were the scene of the first ever Rock Concert to take place at the Palace in 2002 to celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee. Brian May played God Save the Queen (not the Pistols track!) on the roof, Paul McCartney gave us some Beatles classics, and zombie-like Brian Wilson was propped up next to a keyboard humming to some old Beach Boys records.
Jack the Ripper Walk Part II
Later I referred back to the website to read a bio for our guide. There was no Tony. What was happening? Then I finally noticed a disclaimer:
But a word of warning: never part with your money or set off with anyone until you're absolutely certain you're with Donald or - if it's another night - one of his London Walks colleagues. Donald (and co.) will be holding up copies of the distinctive white London Walks leaflet. And remember, Donald and his colleagues never ever start the Jack the Ripper walk before 7:30pm. In short, don't let anyone pull a fast one on you.
Ha! This was not an Original London Walk after all. But in retrospect, I think we were very lucky. During the night we passed a couple of other groups. Each were quite large. Tony waved at the other guides and they waved back. Completely friendly. Today I hear people complain that Donald Rumbelow's groups have upwards of 200 guests each night. Ours had about a dozen.
So if Tony comes by at 7:15, thank your lucky stars!
