Wembley Park is where a lot of big-event weekends in London begin, and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is increasingly where they end up. The two are only 12.7 miles apart, but they sit on opposite sides of north London with the North Circular in between, and there is no direct train. This guide covers the journey from Wembley Park to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in N17: how long it takes, your options for getting there, what happens to the roads on a matchday, which vehicle suits your group, and how a fixed-fare Wembley Park to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium taxi takes the guesswork out of it.

London Bridge is one of the busiest stations in the UK, and stepping off a train there with a suitcase in each hand is a very different experience from strolling out with a coffee. Mayfair W1K is only about six miles away, but between the river crossing, West End traffic and a station with several exits, the trip can feel a lot longer than it looks on the map. This guide covers the journey from London Bridge Station to Mayfair W1K: how long it takes, your options for getting there, which vehicle suits your group, and how a fixed-fare London Bridge to Mayfair taxi takes the guesswork out of it. London Bridge Station, SE1: where the journey starts.

Most people picture Southampton or Dover when they think about joining a cruise. But some sailings start right in the middle of London, from a mooring on the Thames at Greenwich. If you're setting off from Newham, whether that's Stratford, Canning Town, the Royal Docks, East Ham or Beckton, the Greenwich Ship Tier is only about 4.5 miles away. It's still a trip worth planning properly: it crosses the river, cruise luggage is bulky, and the ship won't wait. Here's what the Greenwich Ship Tier actually is, how the journey from Newham works, and how to time a Newham to Greenwich Ship Tier taxi so you arrive relaxed rather than rushing for the tender. Maritime Greenwich from Greenwich Park, with the Thames and Canary Wharf beyond.

  If you are booking a flight to "London" for the first time, the airport dropdown menu is where the confusion starts. Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City, Southend: six options, one destination city, and wildly different experiences depending on which you click. Here is the actual breakdown. Heathrow (LHR) is the default choice for long haul flights from the US, Canada, the Gulf and Asia, and it is the closest thing Britain has to a main airport: four terminals, roughly 80 million passengers a year, and every major alliance represented. It is 15 miles west of the centre, and on a clear afternoon the drive in is 45 minutes; at rush hour, budget closer to 75. Gatwick (LGW) sits 30 miles south, in Surrey, and leans heavily toward transatlantic leisure routes and low cost long haul. Expect 60 to 90 minutes into central London, with the Gatwick Express as the fast rail option. Stansted (STN) is 40 miles north east, in Essex, and is Ryanair and easyJet territory: cheap...

  Most airports exist to get you from a metal tube in the sky to a taxi rank as fast as possible. A handful of them, though, were clearly built by people who wanted you to stop, look up, and forget you were rushing for a connection at all. Start with Singapore Changi's Jewel complex: a glass dome wrapped around a forty metre indoor waterfall, with a walking trail through actual rainforest, sitting between two terminals like nobody thought a shopping mall needed a jungle. Istanbul's newest airport was built almost from scratch on the edge of the Black Sea and now handles more international connections than almost anywhere else in Europe, its single terminal roof spanning an area you could genuinely get lost in. Denver International's fabric roof is famously modelled on the Rocky Mountains behind it, tent peaks stretching over a footprint larger than Manhattan Island. Kansai International, near Osaka, was built on an artificial island specifically so a new runway did not have...
