    Easy to read map displays.
    Lisa P.

    Never having used this type of transportation it was a great experience. Easy to read maps displayed on walls and accessible areas, even a paper take away copy. The rail tells you the next stop ahead of time, door make a warning sign when they are about to close. Lots of clear signage! Super easy to use, a great way to go.

    Another Tube station with limited outside signage so that you don't know where it is until you are literally on top of it. But once you're here, it's a well laid out station with clearly written signs pointing out the directions to the Piccadilly/ District and Circle platforms. On the Circle Line, it is between South Kensington and High Street Kensington. and on the District and Piccadilly lines, the station is between South Kensington and Earl's Court. Good shopping arcade at street level includes a full service Waitrose and a neat flower shop. The double-decker "Tour of London" bus stops right outside too. From the Piccadilly Line, there is a lift ("elevator" in American) to the ticketing level. Or if you feel like you need a workout, try the staircase.

    Piccadilly, Circle and District...you take me everywhere I want to be. The most convenient for me when I'm in the city popping out an back for work and shopping, I can get everywhere from here. The brick on the District and Corlcle lines is beautiful and what I love about this station. A nice change to the while tile so frequent throughout the Underground. Quiet on those lines too Life service is down to one on the Picadilly line until later 2011 but the stairs offer a free work out. Nothing wrong with free.

    If a Tube line can be confusing, the Northern line does it. Bank Branch. Charing Cross Branch…read more Edgware. High Barnet. Oh, and don't forget the occasional run that splits to Mill Hill. You have to seriously know where you're going to ride the Northern! And just when you think you know where you're headed, the train stops and the driver announces that no, this Bank Branch train that was headed to Edgware is now going to High Barnet. I mean, wtf. I finally got a seat, and now I have to stand on a platform with a billion people to try and get back onto the next train. Oh, wait, the next train is ALSO going to High Barnet. Argh! In the summer, Northern is one of the sweatiest and most crowded Tubes in the whole system. Considering that these are relatively modern cars, you have to wonder why they can't pump a little cooler air in there. It was getting to the point that I'd have to have one shirt for the train ride and a spare to change into when I got to my destination. Leicester Square ('less-tuh'), Waterloo, Charing Cross. All places you've managed to take me. Thanks for that. But really, so hot!

    Previously dubbed the Misery Line by the papers and commuters, I have to say that the modern…read moreNorthern Line is generally quite a pleasant experience. The carriages are new and there are ticker tape displays in the carriages announcing the routes and next stations. The routes are important as the Northern Line is one of the more complicated Underground lines with alternative routes through the middle of town and 3 final stops in north London. I often give poor confused tourists a guiding hand when I spot them on the platforms Like all Underground lines, could do with air conditioning or deodorising spray machines in the summer!

The line does have multiple routes so do be careful which one you get on - it is one of the lines which serves Wembley Park for the national stadium, which as a Manchester City fan I use regularly to travel from Euston Square. Watford, Baker Street, Euston Square, Kings Cross St Pancras, Aldgate, Watford, Uxbridge and Liverpool Street are a few of the common stations along the line. There isn't a great deal of step-free stations amongst this line but it serves a great purpose of accessible travel from the Euston Road railway stations to Wembley for those going to a game, as well as other stations along the way. 3* - Does the job but needs work for access for all and the London Overground Watford DC Line would be a great improvement if it does get funded.

    I can't really call myself a fan of the Metropolitan Line. Mostly because it shares some of the…read moretracks and stations from Liverpool Street towards where I want to go, Paddington. So I usually find myself running down the stairs and jumping on the train, only to find that I have to get off at Baker Street and wait for a proper Circle or Hammersmith & City train. I'm also not a huge fan of sharing legroom with other passengers. I'd much rather be facing into the center of the train rather than facing forwards or backwards. I always have this paranoia that the train is going to stop suddenly and I have a fellow passenger in my lap. No fun. On the plus side, the doorway area is quite roomy. This comes in handy as I'm usually dragging a rollaboard suitcase in a crowded train.

    The Central Line is one of the older lines on the London Underground and in many ways, it is one of…read morethe least pleasant - through the use of the old-fashioned 1992 stock trains and poorly designed stations where if travelling on the Circle line, you need to request a ramp before you travel if you have a wheelchair/pram even at a station which is normally fully step-free such as Bond Street or Tottenham Court Road and this is designed on the basis of you knowing about it and finding a staff member or a staff member finding you first - otherwise causing greater confusion and delay. The "red" line opened in 1900 and is one of the most frequently used lines on the tube overall - which puzzles me why some of their stations or even platforms within those stations haven't received the same care or refurbishment as the others - is it because it's in the deep underground? I really look forward to Crossrail coming into London as it shares a lot of stations with this one and I hope it truly makes the Central Line obsolete, which also seems to get much hotter and noisier than the other lines. 1* - While it might serve some useful destinations, this line really grinds my gears and is just the ugly sister of the Jubilee line and co.

    The Central line is just pipped into second place as my favourite tube. It is a literal life line…read moreto those living out in the East End of London and to those in the west. The Central line dissects London horizontally and hits numerous major zone one stations. In the rush hours it is a very busy train and you may have to wait awhile to board off the busy platforms. The Central line is very fast, frequent and reliable. It is without question one of my favourite lines.
