Caravan enthusiasts who choose to take a break near London could soon make use of the capital's new and improved transport infrastructure.
Mayor Boris Johnson suggested that the work being done across the city could herald a "new Victorian Age" for London.
Speaking at the opening of World Travel Market 2009, the former Conservative MP told travel professionals from around the globe that the changes to transport in the city would be of great benefit to all.
"These are the biggest changes in London's mass transit infrastructure for the last 70 years," Mayor Johnson said. "They comprise not just of Crossrail but also of the upgrades of the tube which will increase capacity by 30 per cent."
He explained that the 2012 Olympic Games were a driving force behind the investment, adding that the competition is set to transform the east of the city.
Caravan enthusiasts using the London transport system to do their sightseeing could visit Big Ben, the Imperial War Museum, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye and the Tate Modern, among other popular attractions.
