City advice
Getting around
Tube is the fastest way to get around
The flat is located 10 minutes walk away from the Leytonstone tube station which is on the red line aka Central line. The title indicates that it takes you to the centre. The central line runs until late during the week and on Fridays and Saturday it offers the all night service. Please remember to be in the last carriage when returning. It saves you a bit of time walking back to the staircase heading out.
Customs and culture
Walking on the left
When taking the tube always walk on the left of the escalators as the Londoners are in the rush and they tend to walk up the stairs when leaving the station.
