Sightseeing & Easy Access
Although by population, London is one of the largest cities in the world, it's still possible to explore many of the city's centrally located sights on foot.
By far the easiest way to get around central London is by Underground (or Tube). As the largest subway network in the world - with over eleven lines - most of the city's major tourist attractions, both downtown and further afield, are located near to an Underground station. What's more, there's also a link to London Transport's official website with a map showing the network in full.
Central London is a much-used but unofficial and vaguely defined term for the most inner part of London, the capital of England.
Central London covers seven London boroughs: Camden, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth and Westminster.
When the central area is being referred to it is most commonly called 'The City' for the City of London and 'Town', 'West End' or 'West' for the central shopping, entertainment and business districts outside the City. One might be 'going up to Town' if shopping on Oxford Street or Bond Street but not if shopping on the Kings Road.
With the exception of the "square mile" of the City of London, the London boroughs all include some districts which would not be considered to be part of "central London" at least by some of the stricter definitions. London boroughs can be defined in terms of 'inner' or 'outer' London, but cannot be defined as central or otherwise. However, the London Plan in 2004 defined the Central London sub-region as comprising the boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea, Camden, Islington, Wandsworth, Lambeth, Southwark and the City of Westminster, omitting the City of London itself.
If you are flying in, all of the London airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, Stanstead, Luton and City Airports are easily reached by taxi, car, train and other public transport.
