The Tube is the smelly, dirty but incredibly useful heart of London. Here are a few things you might not know about it.
Never mind standing over plague pits at Algate (if you’re in the City of London, you’re probably within 100m of standing over a plague pit), if you’re on the Central Line platforms at Liverpool Street you’re standing BELOW a plague pit. That’s right. Hundreds of dead bodies, above your head.
The Transport for London Facebook page have great tips on their page and on their Timeline! http://www.facebook.com/transportforlondon
I wanted to go to London, but the first few make me want to think that over and it looks claustrophobic up in there.
I agree. I went to London last summer, accidentally during the Jubilee celebrations, so it was (apparently) extra-full of people. I wish my daily commute in Chicago smelled as bad as the Underground, although I did have a little trouble finding my way to a couple of places.
