The London Underground is a metro system in the United Kingdom that serves Greater London and adjacent districts of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Its first section opened in 1863,^[1] making it the oldest underground metro system in the world. The system operates below ground in central London but runs on the surface in the outlying suburbs. Approximately 55 per cent of its routes are above ground.^[2] The system comprises 12 lines (one of which is currently closed), serving 270 Underground stations. Integrated with, but formally separate from the London Underground, is the Docklands Light Railway. It serves 40 stations in east and south-east London. Both systems are operated by Transport for London (TfL). Most of the combined network is north of the River Thames with stations in the City of London or one of twenty-seven London boroughs.^[3] Stations at the north-eastern end of the Central line are in the Epping Forest district of Essex and at the north-western end of the Metropolitan line are in the Three Rivers and Watford districts of Hertfordshire and the Chiltern district of Buckinghamshire.

Stations

This list includes all current stations on the London Underground and Docklands Light Railway. Listed for each station is the line or lines serving it, the local authority and London Travelcard zone in which it is located,^[4] the date it opened, previous names and passenger usage statistics in millions per year. There are three instances where two separate stations share the same name: Edgware Road, Hammersmith and Canary Wharf. On the Tube map, Paddington is shown as two separate stations, although it is one station with access to differing tube lines either side of the mainline platforms.
