One of the impediments that some travellers encounter when arriving in London is the traffic chaos, and this is partly due to the enormous variety of services available. The regional trains cross with the tube lines, it´s known and photogenic cabs coexist with private services, and its double-decker buses get to all places. So, because the offering is so overwhelming, the easiest and quickest thing to do is to book a private taxi service and forget about all the problems. In London you´ll find everything, form magnificent museums, suggestive night pubs, cultural offering for all tastes and, most certainly, a huge crowd of people from all corners of the earth. At Sun Transfer they comfortably organize the transport from or to the airport from your apartments in London So, the first contact with this huge city (literally) is made in a calm way without any hassle. I remember the first time I landed in Heathrow, it took me an hour to find the connexion that took me to my destination. This, with the Web 2.0, doesn´t happen anymore. Any experience in the English capital regarding transports, is welcome in our comments...
