TRANSPORTATION
London is a major international air transport hub with the largest city airspace in the world.
Eight airports use the word London in their name, but most traffic passes through only five. London Heathrow Airport, in Hillingdon, West London, is the busiest airport in the world for international traffic.
While London's bus network is one of the largest in the world, running 24 hours a day, with 8,000 buses, 700 bus routes, and over 6 million passenger journeys made every weekday! There is also a modern tram network, known as Tramlink, based in Croydon in South London. Beside tram and airport, you can enjoy cycling. Don’t forget The London Underground (which is now commonly referred as the Tube), the oldest and second longest metro system in the world, from 1863.
