Travel around London used to be cheap.

A Tube day travel card in the 1980s cost just a fraction of what it is today An old London travel card reveals how much the cost of Tube travel has increased over the years. London would not be the same without the underground. Whether you love it or hate it, the Tube has been a fundamental part of life in the capital since it opened more than 160 years ago. Ticket price increases on the Transport of London network are also a regular occurrence – although fares were frozen again this year.

The Tube has been modernised since it opened, including the addition of the Elizabeth Line, a better phone signal and an off-peak Friday price trial announced by City Hall. Passengers are set to get mobile signal within most of London underground by the end of this year – to the delight of those who rack up hours of travel on the Tube each month.
