London Underground and Tube Tour

"Appeal for long-time Londoners as much as first-time tourists. Our guide was effortlessly friendly and, as far as we could tell, flawless in her facts. We even learnt a thing or two about our specialist subject. Splendid."
– Londonist

Travel across 150 years in just two hours. Moving from London's first ever Underground station to its most futuristic, unearth the remarkable stories behind the Tube's design and construction and experience its fascinating history first-hand.

A perfect choice on a winter's day, too, because as locals know, it's always 10 degrees warmer on the Underground.

Sure to fascinate and delight anyone looking to discover London through a different lens, the London Underground tour guarantees that no trip on the tube will ever be the same.

Highlights include:

  • Spotting the ghost station at the British Museum
  • Travelling along the proposed 'Viking Line'
  • Discovering how the Victorians dug all those tunnels – by hand
  • The tropical insects that live only in the Underground  
  • The man behind the 'Mind the Gap' voice
  • The sub-service lines forming the tube's visionary future

"Heaps of interesting stories and facts to share about the history, architecture, design and future of the tube network. I urge you to go on a tour yourself."
– Jane's London 

"I am so glad I took the Underground Tour – we were exploring London with a knowledgeable friend, not being talked at by a tour guide. We learnt the history and architecture of the oldest metro system in the world and discovered parts of London our guidebooks didn't mention. I'll definitely sign up for another tour."

– Kathleen Galan, Baker, New Jersey

"A London Underground Tour would suit first-time visitors as well as Londoners as there's so much we don't normally see. At Piccadilly Circus we found a clock telling the time around the world which I had never seen before, yet had walked past at least 10 times in the last month. A great idea for a rainy or cold London day."

"We rarely look around us to consider the Underground from different viewpoints: its history, design and fascinating tales.

Taking a guided tour of this transport system was truly a different way to travel. We looked closely at details that millions miss every day. A day out that the weather can't spoil."

"As someone who uses the Tube at lot and has been writing about it for years, I was pleased to see some new things to look out for. A good way for tourists to while away some hours & speak knowledgeably about the Tube when back home. Thanks again for a great tour."
