Available United Kingdom transportation varies depending on where in the country you're located, but for the most part, you'll find that getting around is a fairly simple task. Consider any of these options when traversing the kingdom:

Buses / Coaches

Even in rural areas of the United Kingdom, you're bound to find buses or coaches that can help transport you around the towns, cities and from one area of the country to the next. Buses and coaches also make excellent transportation options while in the metropolitan areas, as they're the cheapest public transportation option and are safer to attempt than driving yourself, particularly if you're not used to driving abroad.

Subways / Trains

Subways and trains are other popular options for getting around the United Kingdom. Unlike in the United States, trains are a more widely traveled way to get from one part of the country to another, largely due to the smaller size of the country and the smaller popularity of cars. In metropolitan areas, subways are the fastest way to get from one end of the city to the other, but they are slightly pricier than buses or coaches.

Cars

If you have an American or Canadian driver's license, you can rent a car during your trip to the United Kingdom, which can provide the convenience of being able to travel on your own schedule and could possibly wind up being cheaper than paying for public transportation, depending on how often you would use it. The United Kingdom has plenty of roads and accessways, both in the cities and in the countryside. Just be careful to review the rules of driving in the United Kingdom, as they're different than they are in North America.
