Choosing Your Steed: A Multi-Wheeled Menagerie
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
- The Speedy Stallion (Heathrow Express Train): This sleek iron horse rockets you to Paddington Station in a mere 15 minutes. Perfect for the impatient hero or those with supersonic bladders. Just be prepared to shell out a few extra quid for the privilege.

- Pack Light: London has some fantastic (and affordable) clothes shops. Leave some space in your luggage for a souvenir Union Jack T-shirt, in case battling the crowds leaves you feeling a bit... sweaty.

- Brush Up on Your Britishisms: A "loo" is a toilet, a "quid" is a pound, and bangers and mash are not, in fact, explosive sausages and creamed potatoes (although they might be delicious).
