London - Inner Public Transit

The London Underground, or the 'tube' as it is reffered to by locals, is dedicated to providing efficient and quality service to all its customers. There are 12 tube lines that serve Greater London extending northwest to Amersham in Buckinghamshire, northeast to Epping in Essex, southwest to the Heathrow airport and southeast to Beckton (via the DLR). The 'tube' has been a form of transportation in London since 1863, and it is the oldest and most extensive underground transport system in the world. The London Underground is also the fastest and simplest way of travelling around the London area. Typically, the first tube train begins its route at 5:30 am and the last train departs between 11:30 pm and 12:30 am. For frequent service updates phone 020 7222 1234.

Docklands Light Rail is a privately owned, driverless rail system that offers many connections. The standard DLR vehicle can accomodate up to 250 people with many stops, usually less than 600 metres apart. The system extends from the Tower Hill/Tower Gateway station to the south end of the Isle of Dogs, as well as under the Thames River as far as Lewisham.

London Transport offers a variety of ways for locals and tourists to travel around London. London Transport's fleet includes buses, river taxis, trams, the Docklands Light Railway and London Underground (or the Tube).
