Central line map (red tube)
Updated: April 2024
The red line was designed to connect the Central London area. It runs from east to west and it currently reaches the periphery. It is one of the lines that carries the largest number of passengers daily. This is because central London is where the financial district and tourist attractions, such as Oxford Street and Liverpool Street, are located.
