คำแนะนำเกี่ยวกับเมือง
การเดินทาง
Public transport is the fastest way to get around
Download the CityMapper app and it will make it very easy to take any public transport (bus, tube, ferry, etc)
ขนบธรรมเนียมและวัฒนธรรม
You don't need to tip at restaurants/bars
Most restaurants include a 12.5% service charge which should be on the bill.
การเดินทาง
Use Bolt & Uber for taxis
Bolt & Uber are the most popular ride hailing apps. I would hail a Black Taxi from the street if you're in central London as they're faster and cost around the same -- don't take them for longer journeys.
