Here is some sound advice. Stay safe. Even Batman will get a fine if he wears his mask incorrectly. We've all got secret identities now. (Stewart Copeland is going around as Clark Kent and even Sting is annoyed at being upstaged.) Make sure to go to the bathroom before you leave the house. Because it is easier to find Willesden Junction than it is to find Willesden Junction Overground Toilets on the World-Beating London Underground. (Platform 3 since you didn't ask.) There is a brilliant Thai place near Finchley Road tube. Visit them: they are a bit lonely there. There are Two Queens Parks. One is in Glasgow. The other is not. If you have never been to Heathrow Terminal 5, make sure you go to the bathroom at home first. Trust me. Don't even bother with Shoreditch. It is rubbish. Go to Portobello. It's livelier and cheaper. The folks are way nicer. Be responsible if you go to Grenfell. They are ordinary people, living out their lives. Hope this helps. I'm leaving for Queensland, Poland, Cleveland or New Orleans. Anybody lending me a couple of thousand dollars? Thought not. Please do not eat any strangely coloured snow. Wills Morgan: same age as Jeremy Clarkson. Exactly.…

The London underground service is by far the most well managed and extensive transport network I have used and the best way to get in, around and out of London. If you are new to London, you can use your contactless card to pay for the services or get yourselves an oyster card for use. Punch in your destination on googlemaps and your trip shall be planned for you, down to the station and platform number. This is very convenient. …

London Underground – Buy an Oyster card when you first arrive at Heathrow airport and use it to cheaply travel around London. Buy a data sim card for your unlocked smart phone at Heathrow (I bought one from a kiosk) and then download Tube Map or another interactive app for your smart phone and you don’t need to carry any heavy guide book maps. Heathrow is the terminus of the dark-blue Piccadilly underground line. It takes about 50 minutes to travel the underground between Heathrow and central London. Fares with the oyster card are £ 3.10 one way from Heathrow or £ 6 for cash. Search for the TFL journey planner (Transport for London) and use the plethora of London underground, bus, Santander cycles, and London river bus (boats) to cheaply travel around London. The underground runs from 5 am to midnight, and 24 hours a day on Friday and Saturday. Children under 11 travel free when accompanied by an adult. Visited late Fall 2019. …
