Another week-end in London, 2013

Once more, me and my wife had a great week-end in London. I am giving out some tips for trip planning.

Getting to London from Gatwick Airport
- ordinary tourists are going to London Victoria by Gatwick Express / price GBP 18,9 on spot
- if you are smart, buy tickets on website of Southern and get access to other options. Airport is just other train station and trains are passing by very often, reaching London Victoria in 35 min (same as Express). So buying a place on train for GBP 5, seems to be a good idea, isn't ?

Travel cards
- London public transport is great, but really expenses. But there is an option for tourist! Buy travel card for days off peaks (holidays, weekends) for Zone 1,2. The price is GBP 7,5 for whole day. The travel card is available on website of London Transport. But it is also available on spot (for example Victoria Station)

Making reservations on time
- London is popular and booking seems to be a good idea, especially for:
- British Museum special exhibitions
- good hotels
- restaurants

I am not talking about one week ahead, at least 3 weeks!
