Using the London Underground Train Service
The London Underground train network operates throughout London via a number of different ‘lines’ which all have different names, for example the ‘Bakerloo Line’ or the ‘Central Line’. On the London Underground map, the train lines are colour-coded. For example, the Central Line is coded red, and the route and stations are clearly indicated. There are maps at every station and London Underground staff is available to help you if you have any problems. Each train has a route map inside with its destinations, so you can check that you have got on to the right train and how many station stops to your destination.

The areas of London on the London Underground map are divided into six zones for pricing purposes (with zone 1 comprising the centre of London, and zone 6 comprising Greater London). When buying your ticket, ensure that you choose the correct zone (this information is provided on these pages). Ticket machines are located at each station and you can use cash or credit cards to purchase your ticket.
