Underground (The Tube)

The London Underground, or 'the Tube' as it is universally known to Londoners, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London with 275 stations, conveniently dotted in central London. You are never far from the Tube station. Most people in London use the Tube.

London is served by 12 Tube lines. Underground trains on all lines run every few minutes between 5.30 until 00:30 Monday to Saturday, and between 7.30 - 23.30 on Sundays. You can get a map for the entire Underground system free of charge from all train station ticket offices (or click here). No smoking is allowed on the Underground, either on trains or stations themselves. Smoking is also not allowed on buses.

Trains and platforms are described as Eastbound, Westbound, Northbound or Southbound depending on the direction of the line. The front of the train, and the platform indicator, will show the ultimate destination of the train - usually, but not always, the last station on the line.
