Take a fresh look at London from the perspective of the oldest and most iconic underground railway in the world. London residents are said to spend an average of 68 minutes travelling each day, with millions choosing the Tube as a fast and convenient means to get from A to B.
The network is also a tourist attraction
in its own right and the way many visitors to the capital move around the city, experience the attractions and dodge the bad weather.

Tube London takes each Underground station in Zone 1, from Aldgate to Westminster, and looks at the stories that define the surrounding area. Discover more about the London beer flood of 1814, the identity crisis of Eros and the myths surrounding the ancient and enigmatic London Stone. From bloody executions and ghost stories to architectural and engineering triumphs, eccentric traditions and surprising facts; this book is about the people and events that have made London what it is today: a world-class city with an extraordinary history.
