You can quickly tap in and out of the Underground using a payment card, whether loaded on your phone or otherwise. If you prefer above-ground travel, there is an excellent network of London buses throughout the capital. Alternatively, you can flag down an iconic black cab, or explore London's alternative transport network. Driving in London can be challenging, with the traffic in the city centre and the ULEZ zones prompting many commuters to use public transport instead.

Weather in London

Located in the south of the British Isles, London benefits from a warm climate and is especially mild in the summer months. However, light showers and overcast skies are common throughout the year so always bring a waterproof. Winter falls in the first few months of the year and can be especially cold, so be sure to pack warm clothing for a winter stay.

Cuisine in London

As the UK’s capital, it is unsurprising that London has a diverse range of restaurants offering cuisine from across the globe. Brixton, for example, is filled with relaxed restaurants and cafes to cater to any taste. Or there is Covent Garden, providing delicacies from multiple cultures and countries. There’s also a great range of vegetarian and vegan restaurants throughout the capital and some great options for a business dinner. So, wherever your serviced apartment is in London, you can enjoy a new style of cooking every night.
