This is a great question and many of us would want to know quick hacks or shortcuts whilst we are on a trip. So, London is not difficult at all. It is one of the best destinations in the world. It welcomed more than 18 million visitors in 2017 and is looking forward to host more in the coming years.
There are a few tricks you need to know when you are visiting London. Some good hacks you could try are:
Oyster Card: get yourself an one as soon as you arrive in London. The smart card allows you to travel on tubes, buses, trams, DLR, London Overground etc. it is going to make your everyday commute easier.
Map: Keep a printed map handy to quickly know the routes around popular destinations. You could keep a travel map of London as well as a tube map with you. Google Map would work too, but in case if there is no WiFi, the printed will help.

The best way to travel around London is to walk. Just walk and watch your way around the streets and take the tube. The underground tube stations are the best way to travel around and visit every inch of the city. And do keep the London weather in mind. The unpredictable weather can mess things up coz it can rain anytime. Keeping an umbrella, or a mac and a pair of boots in your bag is advisable.
