To get the cheapest single journey fares when travelling in London, buy an Oyster Card. You can buy these when you arrive or order them online before you travel.
What’s On?
To find out what’s going on in and around London and what there is to do, Time Out London magazine, which is published (free) weekly, is a great place to start
Museums within easy walking distance of the British Library include the British Museum, the Wellcome Collection, the Foundling Museum and the London Canal Museum.
If you’re planning to spend longer in our capital city, a number of organisations offer pre-booked sightseeing passes to many of London’s top attractions. These offer cheaper entry and no queuing.
Note: October is generally when many visitor attractions change their opening hours from summer to winter, so make sure you check that the attractions you’re interested in are open.
