About London
London is the most underrated food city in the world — yes, really. The days of bad British food are long over. Stay in Covent Garden for theater access, South Kensington for museums, Shoreditch for the trendy scene, or Mayfair if budget is not a concern. The Tube makes everything accessible, so location is less critical than in other cities.
Jay's Insider Tip
Get an Oyster card immediately and use the Tube for everything. Black cabs are a waste of money except late at night. Also, book West End shows on the day-of at the TKTS booth in Leicester Square — 50% off or more for that night's performance. The best deals are for weekday matinees.
