Feestdagen in Londen

Wat betekent het voor je reis?

Op een Engelse bank holiday zijn kantoren, banken en scholen dicht, maar de meeste winkels, markten en attracties blijven open, vaak met zondaguren. De metro en bussen rijden een beperkte, zondagachtige dienst. Eerste kerstdag is de uitzondering: bijna alles is dicht en metro en bussen rijden niet.
