On Tuesday January 10, 2023, London marked 160 years since the first Tube journey between Paddington and Farringdon stations. This was, in fact, the world’s first underground railway, and has shaped the capital as we know it.
Without the TfL network, London would be a completely different place – and a far less environmentally conscious one at that. TfL is London’s strong, green heartbeat, constantly working towards a cleaner capital. So to celebrate the Tube's 160th anniversary, we’ve put together some tips on hidden green spaces across London that you can explore with the Tube (in fact, some of them are on the Tube).
There’s no doubt that communing with nature does wonders for mental and physical wellbeing – not to mention that it’s free! And thanks to TfL’s fares, including off-peak travel, these outdoor adventures needn’t break the budget.
