Getting Around
In London, the best way to get around is either by bus or underground, also called the tube, walking can also be an option if you enjoy seeing the city by foot. To get to other major cities the train system is efficient and if booked in advance, relatively inexpensive. Simply download the Trainline App or Virgin Trains and plan your journey there.
The other option of course is to hire a car. This option can be cost-effective and fun if you want to have a road trip around the UK. It makes visiting the countryside or seaside much more accessible and will allow you to book accommodation away from the main roads.
