About London

London appears in many transatlantic itineraries and works well as a stopover city thanks to fast rail links from its main airports.

Arrival and airport experience

London is served by several airports. Connections that require changing airports need significant extra time.

Getting around

Underground, rail, and bus networks cover the city; contactless payment is widely accepted.

Where travelers usually stay

Central districts suit first-time visitors; outer areas can offer better value for longer stays.

Airport-area hotels

Airport hotels are useful for very early departures given morning traffic.

Family travel notes

Many major museums are free to enter, which helps with family budgets.

Seasonal considerations

Rain is possible year-round; summer has the longest daylight hours.

Local etiquette

Queueing is taken seriously, and standing to the right on escalators is customary.
