Tube

by dr.firas

Metro or Tube like they call it here in Wonderland!is cool and good way to move in the city, the only bad thing is the different price of the tickets, for example in zone 1 you will pay 1-2 £ for only one use of the metro, but you can use it as well as you don't leave the tube out to the city, zone 6 in London will coast you 5£so you see, it is different in prices, the far you go the more you pay!

Asia in London

by dr.firas

Human power to move the 3 wheels and move with the tourists aboard!it is an idea from the far east, it is cool not poluting and it makes muscles and good sport for the driver, and I saw a girl doing this job, I was sad for her as it is not that easy, she most be strong or maybe she ate spinesh LOLthis kind of trip coast 5 £ yep it is not that cheap as well, but exotic!

Tip Photo
New Buses

by dr.firas

new Buses are the modern look of the old one that I like, they are also 2 floors and red, and the price for the Bus 1 day pass is 2,50 £those are faster and in the wnter they are with warm climatization, so day after day we see people using trhis one more and forgeting about the poor old lovely one!

Tip Photo
Boat

by dr.firas

What could be better than a boat trip on the river Thames!it is for about 5£ with a group of tourists, and it is so cool and nice to see Big Ben and Houses of Parliment, London eye and more by Boat, it is another taste, and you will for sure cross under the most famous bridge: Tower Bridge!

Tip Photo
Luxury

by dr.firas

Yep clear, this is the luxury kind of transportation, if you are a very wealthy person or kind of superstar or so, peek your white Limouzine and ride, it is about 100£ and up, please!LOLI don't know why, but I like to walk LOL

Tip Photo
Walking

by dr.firas

We for sure were moving for far distances by transportation, but walking was the most kind of transport we used all those 3 days I stayed in London, and as I say always, only by walking or hiking you could see things you would never see while moving by any other kind of transport, as here you can stop in the middle and take all your time to see and chose the sight!

Tip Photo
World War II Transportation Van

by dr.firas

This is a rare kind of transportation in London, you could saty a week in London without seeing it, it is an old tank which was used in the Second World War, and it is amphibious war machine, it could move on both land and water, and it is nowadays just for the tourists who likes to have this kind of transportation!

Tip Photo
London Bus

by dr.firas

This is another oldfashion but very lovely and special Bus, the first in London, this one and this time is old indeed, it is a kind of moving museum, and I took a ride on it to reach rihab's house, and it was fun, but a bit slow, and also shaky LOLbut the ticket has the same price of the normal Bus it is 2,50 £ for the whole day!tourists adore it and they ride and photographing it, as you can't see such a Bus even in the rest cities of UK, but London kept it and it is cool :-)

Tip Photo
Cabs

by dr.firas

Those English are really oldfashioned and conservative, just like the gossips about them in the world, but I like those qualities, they give London a very special taste, and they make England Wonderland!look at the funny but Classy Taxi car!it looks as if it was from last 100 years LOLbut don't be fooled thay are just looking like this, and they are modern, the cabs are an expensive way to move in London, a small ride will coast you almost 10£and a longer could reach 50£so it is up to you to chose your transport!
