How to Ride the London Tube

A guide to riding public transportation in London, the London Underground, also known as the London Tube. I tell you everything you need to know to ride the underground trains in London including how to buy tickets, how to plan your trip, and how to find your train.

Overview:
The London Underground, also called “The Tube” -- but never “subway” is generally the quickest mode of transport for journeys to another neighborhood or across town.
Might not be the best for going a short distance though. Locals laugh at tourists who take the tube one stop.
270 stations on 12 lines which are named and colored. Red is the central line.
Trains run 5:30am until Midnight Mon-Thurs, 1am on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday is 6:30am to 11:30pm
Rush hour is 8-10am and 5-7pm
Planning your journey:
Every station has a map, but it’s not to scale, or even geographically correct.
Handy to carry a map with you.
Google Maps is OK. Doesn’t really account for transfer time.
But the citymapper app is way better. Includes walking time, and what part of the train to ride.
Buying a ticket:
Yes you can get a paper ticket, but its 5GBP for one ride. Hardly worth it.
First things first -- Get an Oyster Card -- 5 GBP deposit, then load it up.
Stored value, or a travel pass. (travel pass can be paper)
You can buy it from any tube station, vending machines take bills, coins, and credit card. But it might not take YOUR credit card. Use machines to top up card too.
Getting in:
Every station has ticket gates, find the ones that have an arrow that indicates it is for entry. EIther insert your paper ticket in the slot, or tap your oyster card. Will show the oyster balance. You can also use a contactless credit card, but maybe not YOUR card.
Finding the platform:
Since you planned your route, you’ll know what line you’re taking. Look for the overhead sign, and find the direction (Northbound, Eastbound, etc)
The platforms are well marked and signs indicate the way to the platforms and the destinations served by the various platforms.
Not all trains on a "line" travel to all stops. Be sure that the train you take travels to your destination by reading the overhead signs or the illuminated sign on the front of the train.
Also make sure you take train on the correct branch.
Riding the train:
Mind the gap getting on.
Sit or stand.
Mind the priority seats, and mind your head. The doors are curved.
Maps inside the train
Stops are well announced and you can see outside the window the stops too.
I usually find it best just to count.
Exiting:
Once you get off the train, you’ll either be connecting or exiting.
If you’re connecting look for the overhead signs for your transfer line
If you’re exiting -- look for the “Way Out” signs.
Make sure you are going out the correct exit
And then just “tap” your way out.

Great video! I was in London in 2012 and had no idea how to use the tube, it was my first travel abroad and part of it was on my own...so I was scared! But it was amazing to see how all was so organized and there were signs everywhere, plus usually there are people on the stations who guide you...at least there were back then, I don't know if that was only for the Olympic games though. Could you please make one of this about Zurich? Or is there one already? I saw some of your videos about Switzerland and loved them. Thank you

[@camaleon18]

please help me with this. Do I need to tap out on every station even if I'm just making a connection to my final destination? That's the confusing part for me. I was 5 days in London and like twice I did everything wrong and ended up being charged almost 3 times the normal price. Like if you're just going through adjoining lanes you still tap out? and where are these tap outs? do I need to get out of the terminal to do this and then comeback? it seems ridiculous if that's the way.

I've been on the tube at 7pm on a weekday. If you like grinding against strangers it's perfect. Other than that just walk.

I remember riding the Tube a few times when I went to London a few years back. It is very convenient, and the oyster card worked very well.

[@zyndr_]

I can't believe that you missed out the most important rule of travelling on the tube, which is: *never* stand on the left-hand side of an escalator. If you ignore this rule then you are guaranteed to make Londoners furious with you, and they will make their anger known in no uncertain terms. There are multiple signs on every escalator saying stand only on the right (so that you don't forget). Also please do *not* stop to check maps or directions as soon as you step off an escalator. This is extremely inconsiderate and selfish. When you do this it blocks the exit for everybody else behind you, and they will pile into the back of you because the escalator keeps moving while you're standing still. Move away from the escalator before you stop to figure out which way to go next.

Thoughts from a Londoner... This is one of the best videos of this type that I’ve seen. I especially like the advice to walk if it’s nearby. At some of the big stations (Bank, Victoria or Kings Cross for example), entrance to platform can take 5 minutes. Taking the underground from Mansion House to St Paul’s involves going 3 stops to Bank, walking for 5 minutes to change lines and then 2 stops to St Paul’s. the stations are no more than 300 yards apart. Same with Barbican & Moorgate . You left out rule one of tube etiquette though... On an escalator, you stand to the right and walk on the left.

The tube map is not a map, it's actually a diagram. Although it is a brilliant idea, it does not always show distances or directions very well. As the old song goes; "Finchley Central is 10 long stations from Golders Green, change at Camden Town" But in this case, and many others, it's much quicker and easier to do it by bus! You can get anywhere in London by bus , and for the tourist there can be no finer way of seeing London than from the top of a double decker bus! There are well signed and very frequent bus service routes everywhere with modern, safe and clean vehicles.

I’m a former Londoner. The tube is seriously the backbone of the city. This was quite a well done video. I’m quite well versed with the Underground and often do not even glance at a map when on the tube, I just know where I’m going and what the stop before mine is, so I can get up and to the door. Many times I’ll go from Victoria to Stratford or Leytonstone, that’s simple, Victoria line to Oxford Circus, get up and to the door after leaving Green Park, change for Central line, if going to Stratford, Mile End is the stop before but its quite far between Mile End and Stratford and the turn to come above ground before Stratford gives you another few minutes in your seat. Another thing I do is find shortcuts, there are loads of signs on the underground that are designed to send you the long way around at busy stations such as Green Park and Kings Cross St Pancras. One I found at Kings Cross is to get from the main ticket hall to the Victoria line by first going to the Northern Line and then the Victoria, it saves you about a minute, which given Victoria Line service frequency, can almost always get you on an earlier train.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks camjkerman!

of course, easy for you 'cause you rode it like everyday. What about us tourists huh?!

[@man975dog]

In England do the people also call their underground commuter trains the Metro?

[@man975dog]

@バーニー Well the only reason why ask you is because the name Metro seems to be the international word to say an underground commuter train in any big and major city-I think and I believe the name Metro comes from the French because their underground commuter trains are called Le Metro,and Le Metropolitain-Even in America my country,we also call our underground commuter trains the Metro.

[@man975dog]

@バーニー One thing I don't quite understand about the Underground in London and the rest of England-There are other things that are also underground-For instance a basement is underground,and a sewer is underground,and storage rooms are also underground-How do the English differentiate between these underground things,in addtion to the Underground commuter trains of England???

The first time I used the underground (33 years ago), I got lost inside the underground, I was riding the trains around and around for about 2 hours till I sat down (it was in Kings' Cross tube station) and started looking at the underground maps then I understood the way they worked............. God !!!! ............ now, I am a professional using overground, underground, buses, tramps and driving in central London (I wouldn't advise this last option) as it can be a hell of a headache if you don't know how to drive around the "horrible and crowded" London roads", other than that ........... you can have a good and fast trip.

Very cool video ... great for those he need to know HOW to travel of the tube... It is a great way to travel in London and I love making videos showing WHAT IT IS LIKE to travel on the London Underground.

There are many things about the London underground that I love - first of all, the TFL staff are very friendly and helpful, you can always count on them for friendly and cheerful help when you need it - can't say the same about your fellow passengers though, some of them can be quite the dickhead LOL second, the announcements over the PA system are always very clear and concise, not like the PA announcements here in our metro system which always seems mumbled and discombobulated and I always end up going "Huh? What he say?" and last, the Oyster cards don't expire, if you put money in there now that you don't use, the money will still be there a year from now when your'e back in London.

[@MarmiteCrumpets]

All in all this is a pretty helpful guide on how to use the Underground. You're correct in saying that often its quicker to walk between stations, particularly in the West End central area. Beyond the West End are some really interesting places to visit which tourists often miss out on, and give a better insight into London life than within the 1 mile radius of their hotels. As you say, your Oyster card is already debited up to a daily maximum of around £5 after a couple of tube journeys so take advantage of it by taking extra additional trips by bus, Overground rail and National Rail services (within Greater London), these won't cost you extra although boat trips and Emirates cable car service will require additional up front payment. You can also use your Oyster card to travel on the Heritage bus route 15 which features the traditional London Routemaster buses and without having to pay additional fees, thus avoiding the expensive and often not very good quality Tourist buses.

[@andyoliver6211]

I'm a Londoner and enjoyed the vid. One area not covered is accessibility. Most of the "choob" is quite old and many stations don't have lifts or escalators, only stairs. Those in wheelchairs / families with kids in buggies need to definitely plan ahead regarding accessibility and look for the signs that indicate what type of accessibility there is. Of course buggies can be carried but good to check if you are not familiar.

[@TheArkamedBat]

There is a trick for being charged less on Zone 2-6 to Zone 2-6 journey. Just avoid Zone 1 and the peak is £2.80 and off peak £1.50 instead of £5 peak and £3 off peak, but you must tap on the pink reader when changing/transfering trains if the station has them

[@heliotropezzz333]

The other good thing about Oyster cards is you can use them on trains (in London) and buses also so it can make your journey transitions (between train, tube, bus) seamless and if you use 2 buses within an hour you will only be charged one fare. If you've reached the daily cap on fares you won't be charged anything. Bus fares are usually one price no matter how far you travel on any particular bus, and buses are usually frequent and cheaper than the tube - plus you can see the sights from a bus, though buses are usually not as quick or frequent as the tube. You can also use contactless cards and travel cards on a bus. Buses may not always take cash (generally not, I believe).

Oyster Cards are valid on Underground trains, above ground trains in London (and some train services and stations beyond), trams, buses, Docklands Light Railway, and Overground Trains. Did you also know that if you travel by bus any change or changes of bus are free within one hour of starting your first journey. Essentially you only pay for the initial bus trip. This doesn't mean that you have to complete your journeys within the hour, only that your last change is within one hour of the first.

thank you so much for this! i really didnt know how to, i instead walked on the tracks and it costed £1000 PER TIME I TRIED TO USE THE TRACKS TO WALK!!! one day, i wanted to get from elm park to kings cross, i walked on the tracks and dodged the trains, it was horrendous and i nearly got ran over near the east of barking and i finally made it then it costed £1000 for some reason. but now i dont need to becuase of you, thanks for this, now i know my way around and i can comfirm that it is illegal to walk on the tracks.

The contactless card works great as it avoids the hassle of loading money in the card. But as international travellers probably oyster is good.

Very good information provided. When. You finish oyster card can you return in machine n can you get refund for money left on the card

My most active day taking the tube was 22 flights of stairs and 17,000+ steps! No workout needed. 😂 Just when you think you’ve reached the top, there are more stairs!

With the paper travelcard (to use the 2 for 1 promotion) of 7 days from zones 1-2, if I want to go to Wembley stadium (zone 4), I can present the travelcard at the ticket office to pay in cash only the difference instead of full fare? If not, I thought I'd get off at a station on the edge of zone 2, and re-enter using the Oyster PAYG to complete the journey to Wembley. It's a good idea? *I already plan to use Oyster PAYG for the other 4 days of travel, including the day I arrive in London, so I already have Oyster at my disposal.

Your explanation of the Oyster card was good, but what you should say is it can be topped up at any time.

[@bph9056]

Right any help would be appreciated. What’s the quickest most efficient way to get from london Euston station to the o2 london

[@NOTORIOUS_K.B]

Thanks for the video but what would I have to do because I have a 16+ zip oyster so how do I pay because it is half the adult price?
