Travel in London: 

Everything about getting from point A to point B on public transportation.  It is a very comprehensive site so spend a little time looking around.  The Journey Planner is particularly useful for the underground and bus travel.  And, be sure to check out the bus maps.  You can download them and they are great maps.
