Did you know that some Tube stations are only a five-minute walk apart? For example, Leicester Square to Covent Garden is shorter by foot than by train—and you avoid the crowds.
Instead of swiping to go one stop, walk it. You’ll save money, burn a few calories, and discover hidden cafes or street art along the way. Who knew saving money could be so Instagrammable?

The Night Tube and Weekender: A Late-Night Loophole
On Friday and Saturday nights, the Night Tube runs on key lines. The fares are the same as daytime off-peak rates—no surcharge. So if you’re out late, you’re not penalized for having fun.
Bonus: the Night Tube is quieter, so you can actually get a seat. Stretch out, read a book, or practice your best “I’m a local” pose. The cheap fare is just the cherry on top.
