    Leon C.

    The Circle Line is a city boy/girl favourite as it circles many of the city stations. To the north it runs along the same tracks as the Metropolitan and the Hammersmith & City. To the south it shares tracks with the District. If you've followed my other reviews you'll know straight away that I don't rate the Circle Line. There is always something wrong with it. If it isn't broken down it is delayed. Plus sharing tracks with the above mentioned does it no favours at all. To top it all off it is crammed with suits that are the antithesis of my creative spiritual soul. It is never fun having your face in someone's armpit for an entire journey. To be fair when it is running smoothly it is a good useful line. For city types it services the likes of Farringdon, Liverpool Street and Blackfriars. The Circle Line also has major stops like Kings Cross, Notting Hill gate and Victoria. The Circle Lines big problem is its reliability. When you need it the most it is likely to let you down.

    Tip: Get an Oyster card to travel on public transportation. I got mine at this station back in the…read moreday and the card can be reloaded. In December 2013, I stayed at the Best Western The Cromwell. It has since been rebranded as Ibis Styles London Gloucester Road. The underground station that I took every day as a tourist was Gloucester Road. I lucked out with this tube station having three lines: - Piccadilly - Circle - District I got me everywhere I wanted to. It was a cheap way to get around the city. Service was efficient. This station had friendly staff helping tourists like me. I got immediate help when I was trying to figure out how to ride it. I was encouraged to get an Oyster card, which allows you to load whatever amount of money you'd like. I used it riding the underground and surface buses. I reloaded it once and the person helping me out was great, too. I remember taking a lot of stairs to get to various platforms. I don't recall ever taking a lift (elevator) or seeing one. It is an older station, but it worked nicely. I took the Piccadilly line the most. I visited M&M's World three times, so this line became my favourite out of the three. I stayed in a cool neighbourhood with this station being around the corner from the hotel. Across from it was a Waitrose. I always enjoy frequenting a grocery store. This one was awesome and I'm glad that it's still around. I always felt safe riding the underground and frequenting this station. I'd stay in this area in a heartbeat when I'm ready to head back to London. (30)

    Gloucester Road Tube Station is located in South Kensington on... you've guessed it, Gloucester…read moreRoad. It is in Fare Zone 1 and is served by the Circle and District and Piccadilly Lines. The history of the station dates back a long way to opening in 1868 with the Metropolitan District Railway; the interior is pretty with lots of exposed bricks and the heritage information of the station, it feels unique and different to many other stations on the network. The station is in two parts with the sub-surface and deep-level platforms, the deep-level platforms do have lift access, but the entire station is not step-free, so if you require access, I would certainly advise you to check before you travel, I only use the steps on this occasion. The station, while large, has an easy-to-follow layout which means you can get from the street to the platform quickly, without stress. There's also a Blank Street Coffee inside the station, which is a great place to get a drink before heading on your train. 4* - I like this station, it has some history to it, it's easy to get around and the Blank Street by the ticket hall is handy too.

    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 "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 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.
