If your in London the chances are you will have to use the Underground or the tube, The facts of it are, it is hot, stuffy and it's cheaper to buy a car than travel on it!!!
I suggest buying an Oyster card for £2.00 and then using it for single journeys, single journeys are £4.00 rising to £6.…

Battersea Park is a great little park to stroll through. It has a peace pagoda, a nice pond, and zoo. It's very peaceful. Plus from there, you can cross the river and have a nice walk down to Parliament and all of the touristy areas. To get there, just get off of Marble Arch Tube or my personal favo…

I've travelled in the USA & am now in England with BUNAC (literally... I'm sitting @ their office!), and I think they're great. They have heaps of resources available for finding jobs & accommodation, and lots of helpful info about the area too.

Presumably you don't want to hire a car, which would be the quickest way!As far as I know, there is no direct public transport between Gatwick and Cheltenham, and in particular no scheduled air service. If you want to travel by train, then if you are very lucky with the timetable you will only have …

During my comparative governments class and the recent power shifts in Ireland, I found it absolutely impossible to try and sort out who was part of what territory.
