Transport for London, or TfL, is the local government body responsible for the public transport network in London. As well as the tube, they oversee buses, overground trains, taxis, trams, cycle hire and river boats. Their website provides information on these services, including route maps, information on fares, updates on disruptions and a journey planner.
Other ways to plan journeys include using apps such as City Mapper or Google Maps which can provide information on the best routes via public transport, walking or using taxis.
TfL Payment
Most people in London pay by contactless debit or credit card. You can also use an Oyster card, which can help you take advantage of specific discounts. Find out more ordering or collecting an Oyster card on the TfL website.
Zoning
The city is divided into six zones and journey prices on London Underground depend on how many zones you travel through. The RCA is located in Zone 1, in the centre of London. To see a map of the underground showing different zones and for information regarding all methods of transport in London, visit the TfL website.
