Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in London
- Since venues are scattered across the city, planning routes with the London Underground in advance is worthwhile
- Popular shows, especially at smaller clubs, often sell out quickly, so booking early is recommended
- November in London means cool and rainy weather, so a warm and waterproof coat is essential
- Staying near central venues such as the Southbank Centre or the Barbican makes it easier to hop between several concerts in one evening
