London Transport is the largest urban transport organization in Europe. It covers the area of 630 square miles. Each working day, about 6.5 million passenger trips are made on the bus and underground services.

The world’s first underground railway was opened in the City of London in 1863. Today, London Underground serves 273 stations and uses 470 trains. There is a general manager in charge of each of the Underground’s eleven lines. In all, London Underground employs over 21,000 people.

Stations are signed by a London transport symbol. Look at the Underground map to decide your journey. You can buy your ticket before traveling either from a ticket machine or a ticket office. The intervals between trains are not long and trains run until about 00.15. It is very important to know the final destination of the train you are waiting for, as from some platforms trains leave for different destinations. You can ask one of the staff if you are lost. Most trains stop at all station, but several stations are closed at weekends.

Eating out in Britain

Eating out is very popular in Great Britain. It is a kind of a life style. You start with reserving a table and informing about it your guests. It is rather important, because the seats at the best restaurant in town can be already reserved. On Friday night you may even wait to be seated, because Friday night is the time for dates and meetings with friends. By the way, English people do not wish each other “Good Appetite” when starting their meal.

Britain is a multi-racial country where you can try dishes of different cuisines, such as Indian, Chinese, Japanese as well as European ones like French and Greek.

Going to “Pubs” or “Public Houses” is another tradition which has a long, long history. People come here to meet friends, chat, have a drink, listen to music or play darts. The most popular drink here is beer, but cocktails, wine and strong drinks are also served here. The law is very strict and children under 14 are not allowed into the pubs. Teenagers between 14 and 18 can enter but they won’t be served with beer and alcohol.
