International Travelling- UK
Hi Guys,
In current world, economics of marketing is very important and cutting the travelling cost in a smart way is crucial factor for business travellers as well as holiday visitors.
As the technology is leading the world in various ways little planning before travelling can not only save the cost but also save the time as well the hassles of acquiring in the last minute.
I am sharing my experience of last business trip to United Kingdom.
1. Lyca Sim: In British Consulate after you submit your documents for the visa while going out you can see Lyca mobile counter. You can buy Lyca Mobile sim cards at the same rate as you can buy in UK (sometimes it is cheaper also. It depends upon the exchange rates and the promotions of Lyca). You can get micro sim as well as the normal sim. Extra advantage is that you can insert sim in your phone and can start as soon as you reach in UK, even before Immigration. So, you can inform your friends and family in UK that you have arrived. You can also surf the net in your smart phone.This sim also has lesser cost calling back to India from UK.
2. Oyster card: You can also buy oyster card inside UK Consulate which can be used in Tube as well as in Bus transport systems of UK. you can buy at any Tube station in UK but buying from India you can save time and cost is same.
3. Local Travelling in London: 'London Tube' is a good app to move around London if you want to use local train. 'Bus guru' is great app if you want to travel by bus with in London. London buses are Double Decker and if you just want to enjoy and roam around in the city using upper front seat is really enjoyable and you can a good view.
4. King's cross St. Pancreas and Euston: From this place you can take 6 tube line. Domestic trains to London and International Trains are also available from this place. So, staying near about this place can be good idea if, you have to travel a lot and want to use public transport. If you have to go out of London within UK using trains are a good idea. They are fast, comfortable and cost effective. They are good even for International Travelling.
5. London Taxi: London Taxi is an icon in itself. They are comfortable, spacious and unique. Infect I fell in love with the Taxi and wanted to bring one to home.
6. Safety: UK is as safe as any other country but beware about the places you visit and do take care about your valuables like mobile, wallet etc.
