THE HERALD Wednesday February 19S9 THE HERALD Wednesday February 1 Page Jolly old England may just be old Among Canadian travellers the most popular overseas destination has long been London But visiting the British capital these days isnt quite the same as you may remember from past visits On the upside theres a new waterborne bus service on the Thames between fashionable Chelsea and the Tower Bridge in Londons east end The highspeed service operating throughout the day on a regular schedule is to be extended eastward to Greenwich later this year And theres an absorbing new at traction called the Museum of the Moving image located under the arches of Waterloo Bridge on the less crowded south bank of the Thames Visitors can take a lesson in film editing be in terviewed on camera and watch scenes from classic movies Open daily except Monday adult admis sion about According to the Justpublished guidebook FodorB London a recent survey showed that per cent of overseas visitors rated the Londoners they met as friendly while only three per cent found Londoners positively unfriendly LITTLE GROWTH As for the down side there have been few if any new tourist at tractions apart from MOMI opened in London in the recent past despite the steady rise in the volume of tourists to the metropolis Nor has there been any cant improvement in the urban transportation network except for the addition of the Thames Line Tube and bus fares have risen sharply in the past fen years but the Underground trains remain crowded and infrequent in some lines although now the system does operate directly bet ween Heathrow airport and the centre of London Surface transportation has suffered under the pressure of evergrowing traf fie Jams It isnt only London Transport tickets and taxi fares that have risen substantially so have nearly all the other costs facing the foreign visitor One yardstick is the US State Departments daily allowance for government employees travelling on business US in late highest of any European city and up per cent from three yean earlier The allowance in Stockholm Europes highest in UBS has risen by only 23 per cent since then The allowance covers moderately pric ed lodging food taxes tips and laundry DISCOUNTS APLENTY Fortunately costcutting op portunities are relatively easy to find In the field of transportation for instance discounts are available upon request for children students and seniors or over although membership In a youth organization or a pen sioners identification card may be a prerequisite For extended visits to London the Capltalcard provides unlimited use of certain public- transit facilities as does the Visitor Travelcard for periods of three four or seven days These and other passes have various restrictions terms of validity and prices and some such as the Visitor anc Pass should be bought before leaving Canada Overseas visitors especially those who have been to London previously would do well to ac quaint themselves with the largely undiscovered possibilities of the London Undergrounds 10 or lines the number depends upon how you define your terms most of extend well cut into the OUT OF LONDON Take for instance thi Mitoopotttan line oldest of then- all One of its arms runs northwest from Baker Street station shades of Sherlock Holmes until it reaches its terminus at sham The town may not have quite the same charm as Chipping Camden or Burton on the Water but it does offer a pleasant contrast to the pressures of central London and for those who walk a little way beyond the Underground station some pretty rural scenes along the Misbourne River Another such city to country possibility is to take the 55 km Cen tral Line to its eastern extremity of Epping a market town in the coun ty of Essex full of historical in terest and of course adjacent to the famous Epping Forest ings market day is Monday Still other such trips by Tube could take the visitor to Richmond famed for Hampton Court Palace and gardens or south of the Thames to Wimbledon best known for its tennis stadium where the 1989 championship tournament will be played June 26 to July but a relaxing town of great ar chitectural interest Richmond and Wimbledon are at the southern ends of different branches of the District Line ESCAPE ROUTE For the visitor staying in central London the Underground thus pro vides a relatively quick and inex pensive escape from the busy city to smalltown England Note that the Underground trains to these destinations travel as much on the surface as beneath despite the name On the other hand any one of those small towns could be a good base for the visitor a quiet place to stay with good restaurants and pubs and yet offering easy and convenient access to the heart of London Few of the worlds major cities are as well organized for oneday sidetrips as is London whether by rail or by bus coach as the British say From the centre of the capital theres a wide choice of Day Out sightseeing trips departing early each morning to Stratford upon Avon Oxford Cambridge Canter bury Bath one of the most beautiful cities of Europe Brighton Winchester and dozens of other points of special interest all returning to London the same evening TRAVEL NOTEBOOK Here are notes of cur rent interest to travellers The annual Crufts Dog Show at Earls Court London takes place over four days
