The London Underground is a railway system that serves a large part of Greater London and some neighbouring areas. It is the world's oldest underground system, services having begun on 10th January 1863 on the Metropolitan Railway. Despite its name, about 55% of the network is above ground. The Undergound is more popularly known as the Tube in reference to the cylindrical shape of the system's deep-bore tunnels.
The Underground has 275 stations and runs over 253 miles (408 km) of line making it the longest underground railway in the world and one of the most served in terms of stations. There are also numerous closed stations. For the first time ever in 2006–2007, over one billion passengers were recorded. As of March 2007, just over 3 million passengers use the Underground each day.

Very good shot, Chris, with some imagination, but sadly this means nothing on this site.(:
