Every now and then, there are changes in public transport that warrant a news podcast to bring you up to date on ticketing, Oyster cards and how to buy them from abroad, getting to and from London's 5 airports and so on.
There are now more than 60 live walks available for free download. On the show notes page here at londonwalks.org you will find links to some of the web pages I mentioned in the recording.
So far the podcast has achieved over 740,000 downloads covering between 60 and 65 walks. This is more than most books of London walks published. Remember all the London walks are recorded live, so they are not only suitable for use on your iPod or MP3 device, but if you can no longer travel, if you want a 'virtual' walk in London, or even if you are learning English you will find a use for the episodes. Some people follow them on Google Maps - and you can click on the icon to the right and find the start point of each walk located for handy reference.

Here you can share tips and information with others, post comments, make suggestions, and generally share whatever you think might be useful in the future.
In today's News and Transport episode, some of the links mentioned include:
Visit London for up to date information on transport, shows, museums and attractions.
Transport for London for maps, journey planner, ticketing, prices, and everything to do with public transport in London.
Buy Oyster cards from abroad This covers 63 countries, and you can receive your card 7 - 12 days after placing your order. Finally, I go into great detail with advice on how to get to and from London's 5 airports. You can hear my top tips - not all of which everyone might agree with, but which are personal recommendations from someone born, bred, and living in Central London who uses public transport all the time.
Thank you for continuing to support this project, which continues to flourish. I look forward to you accompanying me on the next London walk.
