About this product

Product Information

Love it or loathe it, the Tube is the world's oldest underground system, frequented daily by a staggering 3 million passengers. It has spawned classic phrases like 'Mind the Gap', has carried the rich and famous from Tony Blair to Geri Halliwell and has its own unwritten set of rules of behaviour and protocol. A refuge for all manner of wildlife from rats and pigeons to drunks and backpacking tourists, it still has a unique and special character, known most intimately to London's daily commuter crush. From bizarre drivers' announcements, the new relaxed rules for buskers and timetables that exist only in the imagination, this book unearths the secrets, the eccentricities, the history and the survival tips of this hot, overcrowded and mysterious subterranean world.

  • Best humour in the depths of grim reality

    This is a collection of the joys or not of Londons tube journeys.. it explores the unwritten rules of travel, the isolationism of the London people, their hopes in their dullness. It picks out the London humour, the mice bit is lol opportunistic fun. As an escaped Londoner it reflects what a surly bunch the Capital travellers can be and how outsider can easily irritate them for fun. When i used to commute in my young days it was hard to have any communication which reflects Londoner's have acquaintances and few friends, usually counted on one hand. It is a great book for the Londoner to have a laugh at their self created predicament.
