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 cost more the more zones you cross.

I have been on many different underground systems and I think London is one of the worst I have been on. Everything is much older and is so much more expensive than others I have tried.

For a way to get around London it is very useful, but it could be so much better and that for me is dissapointing.

Summary: The worst underground system I have been on, but it does a job.
