the tube

London's Underground Metro System Consisting of 12 lines and a light railway system: Bakerloo Central Circle District East London Hammersmith & City Jubilee Metropolitan Northern Piccadilly Victoria Waterloo & City And The Docklands Light railway Although a unique and complicated system it is the oldest underground rail network system in the world... and it shows. Crowded trains, long delays and soaring temperatures are just some of the things daily commuters have to put up with... on a good day. My advice is to travel on a weekend and take plenty of water. It's a fun place to doss around but not that fun if you have to use it everyday, day in day out. Skating in the underground is the best though. Useless facts: - Angel Station has the longest underground escalator in the whole of the underground, taking 80 seconds and raising 90 vertical feet. -Less than 50% of the tube is actually underground -Central London's stations are extremely crowded, the closests being just 0.16miles, making it quicker to walk.
