Ive got a lovely bunch of London hacks, bum-ba-be-bum.

Here they are a-quoted all below.

Go look at the whole thread, or read the best of the best right here.

Its a 12th-century church built by the Knights Templar in the round style that they were somewhat famous for.

The acoustics are amazing and the late morning service usually has an all-male choir that shouldnt be missed.

Its free (you just have to make a reservation).

Its the top of an office building with an amazing indoor garden that overlooks all of London.

Theres a open air terrace and a bar that has the most beautiful cocktails.

Try some of these restaurants, recommended bydunebuggy.

(Theres a lot more in their original comment.)

For great Indian food, go to Dishoom, there are a few dotted around.

Their breakast naan is an excellent way to start the day.

Ranoush Juice (in various locations) does great Lebanese food and shawarma at reasonable prices.

Some gastro pubs do good food but theyre expensive.

For a quick and reasonably healthy lunch, find a branch of Leon.

Operated by the London Transport Museum, these sell out quickly.

There are no lockers though so leave your valuables at home.

Heres a clever hack.

However, be aware of the actual distances between Tube stations.

Get the international transit app CityMapper, saysMrBarraclough:

Yay for CityMapper!

I cannot recommend that app enough for navigating London.

We needed accessible routes, so we had a unique requirement there.

The Underground is awesome and the workers EXTREMELY helpful.

Not all Underground stations are accessible, but ALL of the buses are.

General rule of thumb we found: Use

the Plan a Journey site

.

In London, the pedestrian does NOT have the right of way, addsasulliv12.

But youll need a student to get you in, saysparkylondon.

Buy a UK sim card with a data plan and use Google maps, saysanother_average_joe.

UK cell service is much better and cheaper than US.

If you dont have a chip-and-PIN card yet, get one, saysChip Overclock.

Were not a tipping culture, saysJoeMak.

An optional 10% service charge is usually added to your bill anyway.

Londons train system is divided into zones.

That definitely took some getting used to.

Find the nearest Konditor & Cook shop and order their curly wurly brownie, saysLL365.

And visit The Regency cafe for breakfast near Horseferry Road and pretend youre in a Guy Richie film.
