Railways. These are plainly indicated upon the Map.
Trains run along all the Metropolitan lines at frequent
intervals, and they afford the most expeditious mode of
travelling, though a sightseer would, no doubt, give the
preference to a Tram-car or Omnibus.
Steamers
ply on the Thames above and below London
Bridge.
The "Piers,"
or landing stages, are shown upon
the Map.
Local Boats,
between
Chelsea
and
London
Bridge,
start
every
ten
minutes.
Woolwich and
Greenwich Boats,
every
half
hour,
from
Westminster
Bridge,
Charing
Cross, and London
Bridge.
Gravesend, at 9,10, 10.30, and
11.30, from Westminster
(during
Sum¬
mer only).
Kew, every
half
hour,
beginning
at
11 a.m., from
London
Bridge,
stopping
at Charing
Cross, Chelsea,
etc.
Boats
likewise
proceed
to
Hampton
Court,
Margate
and
Ramsgate,
Southend and Sheerness.
Tramways. They are shown upon the Map, and cer¬
tainly deserve the preference to Omnibus.
Omnibuses cross London in all directions, the chief
centres of traffic being Charing Cross, Oxford and Piccadilly
Circus, in the West End, and the Bank, in the City. Be¬
fore stepping in, ask the conductor whether the Omnibus
proceeds to the place you desire to reach. Pay your fare
before you reach your destination. The Routes of the
Omnibuses and Tramway Cars are coloured upon the Map.
Cabs. There are two-wheelers (called Hansoms, after
their inventor) and four-wheelers, the former being by far
the more expeditious.
Fares are charged either by time or
distance.
