Virtual London - The best place to see London online

Travelling to London by Air

London is served by three major airports and the search for more space to permit expansion is never ending. In 1946 Heathrow, now the world's busiest international airport, was a tented village in post-war, austerity-ridden England, with around 9000 flights a year.

Travelling to London by Train

Travelling to or from London by rail is invariably enlivened by using one of the well-established main-line stations that are part of the country's heritage. Like spokes from a hub the tracks reach out to all parts of the country.

Travelling on the London Underground

The London Underground is not only the oldest and biggest metro system in the world, it's also one of the most modern and convenient, running for 20 hours every day. Each Underground line has a different name and colour.

Travelling in London by Taxi

In London`s famous black cabs, every fare is metered and no driver is allowed to charge more than is on the meter. Plus 99.9% of London black cab drivers are honest, fair, and great conversationalists.

Travelling on London Buses

London Transport buses are a famous sight in London. While you enjoy the view of London's attractions, London's buses will take you all over the capital. Most London buses are still red, but some are painted in different colours.

Dockland Light Railway

There's no better way to get around some of the most interesting and attractive parts of London than using the Docklands Light Railway - a fully-automated, driver-less train service linking the City with Canary Wharf and Greenwich.

Travelling by Car in and around London

Although driving in London is something of an exhilarating experience, the car remains the best mode of transport to use if you want to leave the capital and seek out the provincial treasures of England.
