Visitor Information
Most of London's attractions are north of the River Thames. However London is so diverse that no single area should be the focus for any visitor. London is an agglomeration of interesting neighborhoods and districts that are often miles apart therefore one must master London's public transport system, particularly the Tube or subway to enjoy most of London.
Airport transfers: 45 minutes from Heathrow International to Center City (18 miles) and one hour from Gatwich International (28 miles) (times in medium traffic conditions).
