Like smashup says, for getting around London itself you can't beat the Oyster card, access to all the buses and the tubes, and you don't have to worry about calculating what the cheapest way to get around is, either a travel card or single ticket etc, it does the maths for you. As you say, based on the prices of trains today it is probably cheaper to rent a car, and long distance coach routes are just a pain in the backside to find.

Yeah, I'll definitely meet you for a beer. I hope in some of the smaller towns we'll be able to gaze at some stars. I'm not bringing any scopes though.
