Major Airports:
-London Heathrow Airport (international)
-London Gatwick Airport
-There are a few other airports in the city worth mentioning such as London Luton Airport, London City Airport, London Stanstead Airport, and London Southend Airport.
How to get around the city:
-One of my favourite things about London is how well-connected it is! You can everywhere and anywhere in the city just by using public transportation alone. You can use the Tube, buses, trains or trams and there are countless lines.
-I'd recommend using the app called Citymapper because it will provide you with the best route to your destination, tell you how much it costs and the detailed timings.
-London is organized by zone in terms of its public transportation so if you're travelling to a farther zone you will be charged more. Most tourist locations are located in the first 2 zones however do keep that in mind when travelling around the city!
-Bus is also the cheapest public transit option because it is a flat fare and doesn't depend on the zone!
How to get to/from the airport:
-London Heathrow Airport: there is a tube station directly at the airport. All you have to do is follow the signs and ride the tube into the city and transfer from there to your accommodations. This is the easiest and cheapest way and you just need to use an oyster card (which can be bought and added money to it at the station) or contactless payment. But there are also Night busses (N9), coach buses and a Heathrow express train.
-London Gatwick Airport: there are several trains that run from Gatwick airport into the city and the station is directly in the airport at the South Terminal. The train you take depends on where you need to go, so I'd consult a travel app like Citymapper to let you know which specific train you'd need. Oyster cards and contactless payments are both accepted!
Getting to other cities in the UK:
-Trains! Trains are SUPER easy in the UK! Whether you are going for a day trip or a longer holiday, taking a train across the UK is a great bet.
-There are multiple train stations in London to get you to where you need to be and tickets can be bought in person or in advance using services like Omio or Trainline!
-You can also take long-haul buses or flights do different areas in the UK as well!
