Top 8 in Top 10 misunderstandings about England.
The London Metro (also known as Tube) is one of London's most famous landmarks. It was first opened in the years 1860, making it the oldest underground passenger rail in the world. And with millions of people using it every day, this is also one of the world's busiest worlds. On the other hand, London is quite famous as not being built on the grid, unlike many more modern cities. When the city was burned down in 1666, it was actually rebuilt by the old road system, meaning that some streets in the city were hundreds of years old. This means that the city is not optimized for traffic: driving by car can be like torture. With this mindset, it's easy to understand why many people think that the subway is the only way to travel around London, but there are many other types of options. Like the famous London red bus, for example. You can see these in old movies, but they still exist: they carry millions of people across the city every day, more than any other bus network in Europe. There is also a popular taxi service, with drivers having to take the harsh training in the name of knowledge, teaching them the layout of London. However, if you want to travel on your own, your best choice is Santander Ciking. Known in a affectionate way is the Boris bike, you can go one of these bikes from one of the hundreds of stations across the city to any other station with just £3 ($3.87).
