A recent question asked on AskALondoner.co.uk - 'Do you pay for children 10 and under on the tube. If yes, do they need oyster cards?'

Children under 11 travel free on most public transport services when accompanied by a fare-paying adult. For anyone aged 11-15, you can ask for the Young Visitor discount to be set up on an a Visitor Oyster card. This allows them to travel at half adult fare for 14 days. This can’t be added to a regular Oyster card only a Visitor Oyster Card. Children aged 16 & 17 pay adult rate unless you apply for a 16+ Oyster photocard. This option is only available for people who live in London.

Remember, if you have a question about visiting London you can head over to AskALondoner.com and ask away!

⭐️ LONDON’S BEST PLACES FOR AFTERNOON TEA ⭐️

https://notsobasiclondon.com/londons-best-afternoon-teas/

There are a lots of places in London for afternoon tea but to be honest with you there are loads of s**t ones about! So which one do you choose? In my opinion afternoon tea is as much about the atmosphere & service as it is about the food. You always want to feel a little bit special, right? With that in mind I’ve rounded up some of London’s best afternoon teas. Yes, these are not the cheapest but they are worth saving up for an extra special afternoon tea experience!

MISTAKES TOURISTS MAKE IN LONDON (PART 1)

1.SCHEDULING A WHOLE DAY FOR PICCADILLY CIRCUS ⏰ - Piccadilly Circus is possibly the most tourist heavy hotspot in London. In truth there isn’t a huge amount going on except for seeing the iconic neon advertising signs or visiting the M&M store! By all means check it out but you won’t need a whole day or even half a day! I recommend seeing it while you’re your way to surrounding areas such as Soho, Oxford Circus or Covent Garden where there’s more going on.

2.PAYING FOR A VIEW OF LONDON 💰 There are lots of great places to get a good view of London without paying a single penny! A few I would recommend is the Sky Garden , Primrose Hill & the Tate Modern Observation Deck!

3.BUYING INFLATED THEATRE TICKETS 🎫 - Make sure you’re buying from reputable companies or you could be paying too much! I always recommend purchasing at the box office or official website of the show you want to see FIRST. Alternatively, you can check out any of the providers part of STAR (Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers) . You can see a list of companies they recommend on their website!
