How to Get to the 10 Most Popular Tube Stations

Back to blog Which Tube stations are the most popular and how do you get to them? This is what we are going to answer for you today. 5 million people use the London Underground every day and about 1.37 billion trips are made annually. But which of the 270 Tube stations are the most popular? If we look at them in terms of how busy they are, then the top 10 are…

1. Waterloo

2. King’s Cross St Pancras

3. Victoria

4. Oxford Circus

5. Liverpool Street

6. London Bridge

7. Stratford

8. Bank & Monument

9. Canary Wharf

10. Paddington

  As you may have suspected, most of the stations on the list are also major railway stations and most of them are also in Zone 1 with a couple of exceptions. So now we know which ones are the most popular, how do you get to them? Well, now seems like a good time to introduce you to our new Journey Planner pages. These pages show you the best options for getting to the London Underground stations by tube or bus. If you want directions to any of these stations, simply click on one of the links below.
