Based on the same principle as Vélib' in Paris, the red Santander Bikes can be picked up from Santander kiosks all over town. For £1.60, you can use them for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, £1.60 is deducted for a further 30 minutes, then £4 for 1 hour and so on (i.e. £4 per hour of rental). They're nicknamed Boris Bikes, after Boris Johnson, Mayor of London at the time of their launch. There are just over 800 docking stations and 12,000 bikes available throughout the city.

Britrail allows you to travel through the United Kingdom, Scotland and Wales using the British rail network. Different pass formulas allow you to make unlimited trips per day for a fixed price. These passes are not available for sale in Great Britain so it is necessary to plan to acquire them before departure. Logistics is simplified because you can board the train without having to wait at the ticket office for each trip. It is a good option to explore the surroundings of London like Oxford, Cambridge.

In general, the tube and buses cover the entire city centre, but the suburban lines of the National Rail, the English railway company, can be useful, and sometimes much faster. This network is connected to several metro stations in the city marked with a red symbol on the metro maps. If you wish to travel to one of London's districts by train, please note that your metro ticket or Travelcard is valid on board the train, as long as the station is located in the same validity area.
