Night travel

After tubes and busses close around midnight you must rely on the Nightbuses (all buses to begin with letters ” N”), most are starting at Trafalgar Square, running usually each half hour.

Taxis

London's famous black cabs are comfy but can be expensive. They work on a timer, so if you are stuck in a jam, it can be very frustrating watching the fare go up! The alternative are the minicabs, which pick around busy night clubs. You can't flag them down so you either have to phone them or visit the office and agree a fare beforehand.
