When in London...

... use the underground - the fastest and most environmentally friendly way to take you around London!

If you're not a frequent user of the tube, finding your way around can be tricky. But don' t worry, there's is an app that will make your next trip on the tube hassle free, in terms of navigation.

This little app is plain and simply called London Underground. What this app gives you is a complete map of London's underground where you can choose your start station and end station - the app will then tell you the smartest way to get from point A to point B. With smartest I mean either the quickest route or the one with fewest changes. After you've done your selections your smartphone screen could look like this:

Here I've selected South Kensington as my starting point and Euston Square as my end station. The stations where one is supposed to do something (e.g change of line) are numbered. If the map view seems confusing then there's another feature in the app that shows you the proposed route as text:

In this overview you get to know the names of the lines you should take and the directions (eastbound, westbound etc.). When you have this information all you have to do is to follow the signs on the train and stations  - easy as pie!

I give this app the highest of recommendations. It's user friendly and saves a lot of time when finding one's way around the London underground.
