INFO BOX

The first underground railway in the world wasLondon's Metropolitan line, built in 1863.

Londoners call their underground "the tube". Thereare 273 different stations now and the deepest

station is Hampstead, 58 metres below the ground.It is also worth mentioning that the Londonunderground is the longest in the world. Thus, if allthe tube lines were placed end to end, one end ofline would be in London and the other in Land'sEnd, the westernmost point in Britain.Although it may not seem easy to believe, visitorsdon't find it difficult to travel by tube in London as

all the lines have different signs and differentcolours.
