About London, England
London is easier when you plan by area. Westminster, South Bank, Covent Garden, Camden, Notting Hill and Shoreditch create very different trips, and public transport lets you combine them without relying on taxis.
To control costs, compare accommodation location against travel time, use free-entry museums where they fit your itinerary and check official transit and attraction prices before buying passes.
