Thats what I always did. It amazes me the number of people who don't however.
We often get people flying over from our US offices for a week and most
of the time they never go anywhere other than our office and the hotel.
You'd think after a 9 hour flight to the largest city in europe they might
be vaguely curious enough to jump on the tube all of 200 metres from the
hotel and go into town for an evening out. But apparently not. *shrug*

Perhaps they've heard your stories about how awful the tube is. (Hey,
what are you doing, recommending that people use the tube? Isn't that
against your religion or something?)
