Transport in Westminster: Public and Shared
Westminster covers 21.47 km² and is home to many of the most popular shopping, eating and outdoor areas in London, so knowing how to get around is key.
While we (of course!) encourage transport that contributes to our asks, there is a wide range of both public and shared transport options which can suit everyone in any situation.
Looking for a bike to jump on around Hyde Park? Pedal around on a shared bike. It's raining and you need to take the tube? Westminster has the highest number of stations (32) in any borough. Looking to escape London for the weekend? On-demand car hire is at your fingertips.
