London's Underground is amazing when it does work, but pure hell when it doesn't.

Once you have a rough idea of what lines go where, you can usually guess your way to your location by filling in gaps for lines that regularly go down (Lizzy Line...).

A lot of people assume that having trains every 3-5 mins is great, but that timing is needed to get the sheer number of people using the underground out of/around London.

Thankfully, London has a lot of great pubs, so you can grab a nearby coffee in the morning, or a beer or two in the evening until things calm down.

Yeah but I don't have a second mortgage so I think I'll refrain. The only place I've ever been more expensive than London is Iceland but at least they have an excuse.

Very true, while pints here in Bristol are creeping up significantly, any time I get a pint in the city or in Shoreditch I'm almost speechless. £10 for a bog-standard lager probably isn't far away...
