Planning your visit

Travel in London

Before you come check out the Transport for London website which has advice for visitors: https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/visiting-london/

Always check out whether you can walk to your destination. Sometimes places are surprisingly close. The London A-Z either online, http://www.az.co.uk/?nid=354 , or hard copy will help you. The Transport for London website also lets you plan journeys, which includes a walking option.

Accommodation

Pride Week in London will mean hotels and B&Bs are very busy so book sooner rather than later.
