Default Top three transport things to do

In your opinion, what are the top three transport related things to do
in London?

London Transport Museum excepted, since I've done that.


You've already had lots of good suggestions, but here are a couple of other
ideas, if you've not done them already:

- If you used Eurostar in the early days, you'll have used Waterloo
International station. You might be interested in seeing how it's finally
being reconverted back to domestic use. This is what it looked like four
months ago:

- There's one Crossrail station you can already visit: Canary Wharf. The
Meridian line passes through it, which is reflected in the plant
arrangements in the roof garden. Yes, an underground station with a roof
garden!

- Tunneling has started on the Northern Line Battersea extension, but I
don't know if you can see much from outside the building site at the old
power station.

- London Bridge station is worth a visit. The total rebuilding project is
half complete, but you can get an idea of what it will be like when
finished. If you ever used it before the rebuilding, you won't recognise
it. These pictures were taken soon after the latest phase opened:

- Walking across the river on a Blackfriars station platform is fun. It's a
good way of getting to the Tate Modern and its new observation gallery.
