Hi Jennifer I'm a regular user of Transport for London's Journey Planner. You can enter a wide range of different journey options - for example, I have walking difficulties and I can tell it that I only want buses, walk slowly, and want a journey with as little walking as possible between stops. The maps that you get at the beginning and end of the journey are pretty good. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ Click on 'advanced options' for the full planner. If you're not familiar with London and want some journeys to try, here are some suggestions: London Eye to St Paul's Cathedral (both places of interest) Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace (both places of interest) Heathrow airport to Gatwick airport (the two big airports) If you try it in the middle of the night (UK time), you'll only get buses because that's the only type of transport that's running.
