From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
London has one of the oldest and most famous public transport systems, which are now all controlled by Transport for London (TfL) - a government body responsible for the transport system throughout Greater London. Its role is to implement the transport strategy for, and to manage transport services across London.
On top of TfL responsibilities, the capital is served by several major railway stations serviced by privatised rail companies, international rail travel in the form of Eurostar, and 6 international airports.
The British motorway network was designed around London, with several major motorways beginning from London. As with the rail network, this has proven to be a problem for journeys through London - the M25 London Orbital has gone some way to ease this.
