London Underground, also called The Tube. Picture Earl's Court Station, 2006.
London Underground, also called The Tube, is very similar to New York's Subway; it is just called differently in New York. The Tube is one of the mayor transportation systems in the city of London. It has some twelve different lines, about 275 stations and each day people use it close to three million times. Perhaps even more amazing is that some people like us can get to the right place on our first trial, and then keep doing it several times a day for the next two weeks without missing a single time. It is an extensive and complex system while at the same time it is easy to understand and has excellent direction signs.
London is divided into zones. Zone number one is like a circle including the downtown area where many of the tourist sites are. The other zones are like concentric circles getting further out as their number increase. Zone number two is the area around zone number one. Then zone number three encircles zone number two. And so on until zone number six. London is also divided into districts, but for now this division is not needed.
