Transport chiefs have reiterated their plea for Londoners to go to the pub after work during the Olympics to ease traffic congestion.

They say the Games will cause major disruption to commuters in the capital.

About a third of road and Tube journeys will be affected, particularly in areas such as London Bridge and Canary Wharf.

Peter Hendy, the Transport for London (TfL) commissioner, said: "We are not saying don't travel. And we are not saying don't travel home at 5pm. But for those who can, go down the pub and travel at 6.30pm."

Whatever your plans, Orange can help you make your journey easier.

You can also get live train information on your Orange phone - and you can also download the Tube map for free to help you travel round London with ease.
