If you are a solo traveller staying in London for a few days, taxis will prove very expensive. Buy an Oyster card and top it up with some money, then use it on any bus or tube/subway journey for half the price of paying cash. Cost is £3 (refundable deposit).
Any subway/tube station
Mind your owls: Grey Owl is a good vineyard producing some rather nice wines - Burrowing Owl produces superb wine for only slightly more money. Ask you waiter. Oh, and avoid the local organic 'pyramid' wines: not bad, but very overpriced.
