The Underground
"The Tube"
is the name of London's underground system, it is by far the
best way to travel around whilst in London.
Trains start running from about 5.30am
and finish around 12.30am.
Self-service ticket machines accept most coins, from 5p upwards,
and they're not that difficult to use. The automatic ticket
gates on the other hand can be problematic, the person in
front of you often gets stuck and you have to move fairly
quickly to avoid being caught in them, which can be very difficult
if you are carrying lots of stuff!
Avoid traveling
in the morning or evening rush hour 8.00am - 9.00am &
5.00pm - 6.00pm as you can get crunched! London's Tube lines
are not referred to by colour, as many lines have similar
colours Londoners won't know what you are talking about. Use
the line's name instead, such as the Piccadilly Line, Central
Line etc. Maps are available at all tube stations and main
railway stations.
