Best tubes

The Daily Telegraph has published a list of all the Underground lines in London from best to worst.

Mist people who live here have a favourite line and a least favourite. We love the Piccadilly and absolutely hate the Central, at least until it gets out into the countryside.

Depending on your browser etc you may be able to read it, or not. If you can’t, the winner is the Metropolitan line, of course. Worst is the Bakerloo.

Why not tell us your favourite and least favourite here.

What is London?

It’s a city that is the capital of England, right?

Well, no, it’s not a city, it is a metropolitan area. It does contain two cities, the City Of London and the City of Westminster.

Confusing or what?

Let’s try and explain and give you some idea of your bearings and the size of the place.

London is London

Many years ago we had a site which was a basic guide to London. It was reasonably popular.

The idea was very simple: to provide absolutely basic information for anyone coming to this city for the first time for a holiday, or vacation, if you will.

It you’ve been here before you should know what’s what. If you’re here on business, your accommodation and travel is probably organised by someone else and you won’t need our help. But if you are coming for the first time, it can be confusing, so we provided some basic information.

There were no “10 best top restaurants to eat in London” nonsense. We weren’t sponsored and there was no advertising. We gave our own personal opinions if opinions were needed, and tried to suggest what to expect and how to avoid being ripped off.

Well, times change and we’re doing it all again. We see some terrible YouTube videos and Websites that tell you wrong stuff, so we will keep it simple and try our very best to be up-to-date and correct.

We hope it’s useful.

There will be a new edition every Sunday.
