In the sense that you can pretty much count on delays in the Tube service. But being a tourist you can avoid the worst rush hours, and if you stay anywhere near the City, distances will be short anyways. Once you know where you're staying, get a
Travelcard that covers appropriate area for the duration of your stay. If you're planning on using the public transportation at all, a Travelcard is less hassle and costs less than two individual tickets (depending on the zone).
