    As a Londoner, it's only when you visit other major Western cities and use their subway/metro system, that you realise how good the London Underground is.

    I'm English and I certainly could've used a video like this when I used the tube on my own for the first time. Most tourists don't realise that Brits who don't live in London often end up scratching their heads with this as well, since no other city in the UK has an underground system. But Londoners are always happy to help, as long as you ask someone who doesn't look like they're in a hurry!

    Importantly, the London tube map is not to scale in case you fancy a walk. On a rainy 80s day at school, I drew it to scale and it blew my mind

    You really did a good job with this. I've been traveling to London for 20 years so it's easy for me but many others, especially people who live in places without light rail systems might be intimidated. The Tube's a piece of cake.

    Very professional video, very well done and enjoyable to watch. I’m English and have used the Tube all my long life making literally hundreds of journey’s but I still found this video informative.

  • @MrFlyguymal

    I visited London for the first time a couple of days ago. I used all of the info from your videos and was able to get all around the city using the Tube. I thank you so much!!! London is a beautiful city and I’ll be returning very soon.

  • @billybudd5854

    The London Underground map is considered a design classic. It is both beautiful and really easy to follow (with a little practice!).

    Thank you Jess!! You're the best! I have all of your literature on London and I'm planning my trip to London next year with you guides and I look forward to using your service to tour around London when I get there! Yes taking the tube looks daunting but with your help I'm sure I'll be just fine! Thank you so much for all that you do for us and I love all of your content! Hopefully I'll cross paths with you and I can thank you in person!! Be well, be safe and Cheers!!

    Also a note to add that most Tube stations have stairs and many are not suitable for wheelchairs, people with mobility issues or lots of heavy luggage. So best to check the stations that you want to use before you head out. Sometimes the bus is a good alternative in these cases.

  • @reneev.3921

    I watched a ton of your videos before our trip to London in March 2023. They were very helpful. The biggest problem I had with the tube was that not every station has an elevator (lift) or escalator. My step daughter and I found ourselves lugging our luggage up and down several flights of stairs before we really explored the maps in the stations and realized we had to seek out those stations.

  • @annettefriesen6059

    Just got back from London and just wanted to say how much I appreciated your videos. I watched several before the trip. I found your suggestions and do's and don'ts very helpful and entertaining. Thanks so much. I'm in love with London now too.

    I am planning on going to London later this year. I must of watched over thirty of your CZcams videos. With all the information I have learnt from watching your CZcams videos I owe you big time.

  • @user-gk2gl2rr1l

    Before our recent trip to London, my husband and binged all kinds of CZcams travel videos. This one was hands down the most useful of any single one we watched and even helped us teach an older friend how to use the Tube on his trip too. We loved London and loved using the Tube...we went everywhere on it. Many thanks for producing such helpful content!
