Underground in general

I went to London this week for a short break with my boyfriend and there was a lot of travelling from the airport to the hotel to the shops and vice versa. One of the main methods of travel we used was the underground tube system in London. If you have never used the Underground, it is a rapid transit system serving a large part of London. I used it mainly to get to places like Kings Cross station and Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square for shopping and the cinema. As im Agoraphobic, i was panicing big time about this as im really bad and have panic attacks a lot in large groups of people. If you have visited London, you will ...  Read the complete review

London Underground The London Underground or the tube as is commonly known is one of the few underground rail systems in the U.K. It is a huge system of underground and a few over ground routes, which connectects all different parts of London and it's surrounding suburbs. As well as connecting a lot of the suburbs it also connects the major london overground rail way systems with each other. As for the actual experience it isn't great, it is usually very hot on the underground and very busy especially during rush hours. It is also very expensive, a single trip costing £4, or £1.50 when you have an oyster card. London is split into 6 zones, and it ...  Read the complete review

The Tube (or London Underground) is London's subway network, spanning the whole of London, within the M25, and some slightly outside. ~~~STATIONS~~~ The stations of most underground stations are aged and look very grimy and "Oliver Twist" like. Apart from a few stations in Central London, and some that have recently been refurbished, stations are really not a nice place. Even without rubbish, they look dirty and horrible. You can feel the dust in the air and the snoot all around you... NOT nice. The "hall" of the station is also tiny for a majority of stations, and the ones closer to Zone 1 (central) are only slightly ...  Read the complete review

I lived in London for 3 years while I was studying and the London underground was a life saver over this period. I find the underground easy and relatively cheap to use and gets you to just about anywhere in London. I have driven around London and absolutely hate it, you really have to be pushy and aggressive which I don't like and you spend so much time sitting in traffic, where at least on the tube you're going somewhere. The only disadvantage I would say is that it gets very busy (especially during rush hour) but that's because it's the easiest way to travel around London. The stations are clearly marked around London with the underground logo seen in the ...  Read the complete review

London Underground, a lot of people hate it, so much so there is song all about how much people hate The Underground. But in my opinion its faster, probablty more convienient. Okay so sometimes there is the occasional delay due to signal failure or whatever, But if you have to drive through london in rush hour you are not going to get anywhere fast! With an Oyster card, Tube travel is cheap! I travel from uxbridge to Harrow for £1.10, it takes 20 minutes, or a bus will take me 1hour -2 hours dependant on traffic, which is unpredictable and a nightmare. Bus will cost £1 I'd rather pay that extra 10p, travelling by car, if not going same route ...  Read the complete review
