London Underground

London Underground

London has one of the best and most extensive underground/subway systems in the world, and you will soon encounter it in your travels around London. It runs from approximately 6am to Midnight, and covers vast amounts of London. There are 6 zones.

Heathrow is at the far left of zone six, and major rail stations are also connected like Victoria, Kings Cross, Waterloo and Liverpool Street Stations.

At each station there are automatic machines to buy a ticket, or you can queue in line to purchase a ticket. You can get one day travel cards for under ?4 as well as weekly and monthly passes, good for the underground and bus systems. Make sure your ticket covers the zones you intend to travel through, as they can be strict with their ?10 penalty fines.
