Probably the most common means of transportation in London is the London Underground. More popularly called the “Tube” by London’s locals, the London Underground is considered the quickest and easiest way to travel around the city. There are 12 Tube lines serving Greater London. There is also the Docklands Light Railway or DLR which is an interconnected local train network that makes it easier for commuters to travel within the city. From Mondays to Saturdays, the trains run from early in the morning at 5 am until midnight.

The Tube and the railway have varying schedules and routes, depending on the station and the line. So if you want to get information about a specific route, it’s best to visit the London Underground website for the most up-to-date schedules of trains. At the website, you will find a map of the Tube network. This map was carefully designed to enable commuters to easily understand the directions and specific areas served by the trains. The interchanges are also well defined on the map.

If you are planning to use the Tube when you are in London, try not to join the rush hour commute, as the trains can be very crowded. Make sure you have a map with you, so that you won’t get on the wrong train. It is also advisable to acquire an Oyster Card or a Travel Card if you plan to use the Tube a lot. It will not only provide you with discounted fares, but it will also make your travel a lot more convenient.
