Young couples are becoming practical and smart. For a honeymoon, they would rather spend it in a place like London where they can tour romantic castles, enjoy adventures in a picturesque countryside, and take on the London’s nightlife — without spending a fortune on rides, thanks to the London travel card.

From Heathrow to Honeymoon Destination

From Heathrow Airport, couples armed with their London travel card can take the bus or the tube. The Heathrow Express train is an option if you really want to get to your destination fastest but that’s an expensive 15 minute ride to Paddington Station. The tube and the bus are the cheapest rides. But then you want to save money on rides to have extra spending money for honeymoon treats.

The tube will take you to the nearest station of your honeymoon destination, whether it is the busiest part of the circle or the laid back countryside. Once you have hit the metro, you can explore the sights and sounds, and ride the double-decked buses to enjoy a wide angle view of the metropolis, again using your London travel card. If the route is not covered by the card, you simply pay for an extension fare.

In the evening, you can drop in the liveliest bar or visit a night market just to get the feel of the other kind of nightlife in London’s busy district. Or off you go to watch the sunset at the Docklands. The London travel card is a necessity for honeymooners who want to see a lot of places – it provides unlimited rides for the day. You have more options with the card. If you want a 7 day card or a three day card, you can get it online or order it from the tube station.

The Countryside

The countryside offers a refreshing respite from the frenzied lifestyle in the megapolis and the best place to start your wedded bliss. You can have lazy mornings and breakfast in bed without the smog and the noise. The tube and bus can take you there.

Traveling to the countryside by tube is a convenient way to go if you want to spend your honeymoon near the hunting grounds of ancient kings. That is in the Epping Forests where there are cheaper but great accommodations. You ride the tube from Liverpool and get off at Chingford and get a bus.

Perhaps a stay in Canterbury to soak up the medieval past is your cup of tea. Canterbury is situated in the southeast route and the tube can take you to Kent and from there you can backpack to the nearest hotel or bed and breakfast.

Double Treat

For smart honeymooners, the 2-for-1 London travel card is a honeymoon gift. This can be bought from a railway station not from the London underground or the DLR. This comes with added treats, such as the discounted pass for great attractions in the London area.

If you are planning your wedding and a honeymoon in London, think about this travel card. Slip it into a barrier slot or show it, you’re on your way.
