Visiting London can feel daunting at times. The network of rail and underground services stretches through and beyond the city like a labyrinthine web of underground lines and confusing directions. On top of this, visitors to the city can be misled on just how far apart landmarks really are; despite the city centre being relatively small and walkable, getting from one to the other by foot can take an incredibly long time and with the added blustery weather and frequent rainfall, this can sometimes be the exact opposite of how you’d want to spend your time visiting the city.
