London: Tramlink

Source: TfL
If you venture into South London, towards Wimbledon for example, you may come across London Tramlink – a small tram system. The system is designed for local residents more than visitors in reality, and travels through some of the more rundown parts of London.

The tram system functions in much the same way as buses do in London. The fare is £1.50 with an Oyster Card or contactless payment. The drivers of the trams do not sell tickets onboard, but (unlike buses) you can buy a cash ticket from a ticket machine at any of the tram stops, though TfL does plan to remove these in the near future.

You must touch in your Oyster Card or contactless payment card at one of the readers before boarding the tram – do not touch out when you leave, except at Wimbledon where you must touch out to get through the ticket barriers.

The daily price cap is £4.50 if using Oyster. A One Day Bus & Tram Pass can also be purchased for £5. If you have a Travelcard on your Oyster card or a paper Day Travelcard that includes Zone 3, 4, 5 or 6, you can use it to travel on all trams.

London: Things to do and Events in February Chinese New Year Image: Paul (Flickr) 18th February 2018 Although Chinese New Year itself is on the 8th February in 2016, the celebrations will be held on the subsequent weekend.  You can celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey all around the West End with events held on Trafalgar Square and Chinatown from 10:00 to 18:00. London’s Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest outside Asia, with parades, performances and fireworks.  At 10:00 a large lion parade makes its way from Trafalgar Square to Chinatown; from 12:00 onwards stage performances are held; and at 17:20 the grand finale begins as dancers and acrobats take to the stage, and pyrotechnics illuminate Nelson’s Column.
