Taking the Tube in London
I've been hearing horror stories about people getting pushed under the Tube during rush hour in London. I'm a small-town gal about to make the move, so taking public transport and not commuting a la private vehicle will be change in itself - can any expats living in London share some Tube tips - namely which stations to avoid if you aren't into near-death experiences.

Tube travel in London does have its perils, but mostly to stress levels and claustrophobia. It's also a pretty clean, efficient and simple way to get around this huge city. Most Londoners will have heard Transport for London's "Person Under a Train" notification at least once each winter, particularly when the weather becomes seasonably suicidal. Accidents have also been known to happen, albeit extremely rarely, and can best be avoided by not changing trains at Bank (the platform is about as narrow as a single bed) or standing too close to the yellow line at other crowded stations at aggressive, rush-hour times of day.
It isn't the cheapest method of transport - buses are favored by people on a tighter budget and like to see the city go by. There's also the Boris Bike system, where you can pick up and drop off a bike from any one of many collections all over the city.
