Tubewalker (Zone 1)

Welcome to the world of tubewalking - a great way to discover London on foot (or, if it's raining, from your armchair). This free version of Tubewalker contains maps and descriptions for 88 tubewalks that cover the whole of London Underground Zone 1; the full version of Tubewalker also covers Zones 2 to 9 (a further 228 tubewalks).

WHAT IS A TUBEWALK?

A tubewalk is simply a walk between two Tube stations. Tubewalking is a great way to explore London: every tubewalk starts and ends on public transport, and you can string them together to create walks that last as long as you want, from minutes to days.

The tubewalks in this application are all self-guided walking tours that try to visit as many interesting places as possible. This means they meander around quite a bit, so they're entertaining rather than efficient.

WHAT DOES TUBEWALKER DO?

Tubewalker contains detailed maps and descriptions for 316 tubewalks, which together cover the entire London Underground network - if there's a line between two Tube stations, then there's a tubewalk for it.

Zone 1 is included for free, while zones 2 to 9 are available in the full version of the app. Note that the DLR and London Overground aren't part of London Underground, so they're not covered.
