You can buy a 'One Day Travelcard' each day (after 09-30am weekdays, anytime weekends); this ticket will give you the freedom of the Underground/bus/suburban rail system for one day. An all zone card is £7 but if you are sticking to central London a zone 1 to 4 card which is cheaper will suffice. You can also buy an 'Oyster Card' which you load up with money and scan on readers when you board buses and board and exit the Underground; these can be used before 09-30 but are not valid on the suburban rail system unless you download a travelcard onto them. Sorry this is complicated. Paying cash for each journey would work out far more expensive than either of these two cards. Must see sights (other than the ones which appear in all the guideboooks): Kenwood House, Hampstead Heath a beautiful mansion with wonderful grounds containing a marvellous art collection. (nearest Underground Highgate Northern Line). Richmond Park - a world heritage site on the fringes of London, a deer park with marvellous old trees. Museums and art galleries are a true strength of London such as Tate Gallery (mostly English artists), the National Gallery and Tate Modern (Modern art) - even if you hate the modern art the building its housed in is staggering.
