## Common questions

**What's the best time to visit London?**

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal, with mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer offers warmer temperatures but is busier, while winter can be chilly but magical with festive decorations.

**How do I get around London?**

The most efficient way is using public transport. The Underground (Tube) and buses cover most of the city. Consider getting an Oyster card or using contactless payment for convenience and better rates.

**Are there any free attractions in London?**

Yes, many! Most major museums like the British Museum, National Gallery, and Tate Modern offer free entry. You can also enjoy parks, markets, and seeing iconic sights like Big Ben and Buckingham Palace from the outside for free.

**What's the tipping etiquette in London?**

Tipping isn't as expected as in some countries, but it's appreciated. In restaurants, a 10-15% tip is standard if service isn't included. For taxis, rounding up or adding 10% is common. Tipping isn't necessary in pubs or for counter service.

**Is London an expensive city to visit?**

London can be expensive, but there are ways to visit on a budget. Look for free attractions, use public transport, and consider staying in areas outside the city center. Many restaurants offer pre-theatre or set menus which can be good value.
