Getting around in London

It is highly recommendable to get around by public transport as the public transport system in London usually works well and driving by car in central London can rather develop into a nightmare...

 
 

If you travel by public transport, it is advisable to buy a so-called Oyster Card as the public transport fares on Oyster usually are up to half the price (!) compared to single tickets. You can use the Oyster Card both for travelling on the bus and the underground trains.

You can buy an Oyster Card at almost every ticket office at the underground stations as well as at several shops in town. Oyster Cards are available as pay as you go cards – you simply buy a card for a £3 deposit without the need to share your personal data with anyone. The card can be topped up with money for your travel through London at almost every ticket machine where you can purchase ordinary tickets, too.

 

Accommodation

We tried to find several accommodations for the participants of the EFFC which are located at a convenient distance from the stadium and should satisfy your needs, especially if you are travelling on a budget. Alternatively, the FSF offers a reduced rate in the official conference hotel for the participants of their annual Fans’ Parliament (taking place on July 5th 2008). Read more...
