London transport & Tube map
Getting around London is
easy, thanks to the city’s
extensive and interlinked
public transport network.
The bedrock of the
network is the London
underground railway service,
affectionately known as the
Tube, The map opposite
shows how the Tube’s 11
lines reach every part of the
city, with the 250+ stations
linking every community,
business and retail area.
But the Tube is not the only
way citizens and visitors get
from A to B. They also use:
• The Overground
train network;
• Bus services which reach
into every community;
• Plus the familiar London
black cabs.
London also has regular
river ferries transferring
commuters and tourists
along the River Thames.
Further afield, the city is
served by five international
airports, and national and
international rail services.
Ongoing enhancements are
being made to the overall
infrastructure, including a
Crossrail project linking the
city on its east-west axis.
