The LONDON TUBE SYSTEM has a fascinating History ~ see Video.

The Stations all have fascinating NAMES and they were used extensively

as AIR RAID SHELTERS in WW2 (1939 - 45) and saved many lives.

Every LONDONER worships the *UNDERGROUND* and London Relations

of mine (BRIAN) have a framed map of the *UNDERGROUND* on their 

Dining Room wall ! ANGELA was raised in LONDON so she has a very

good working knowledge of the TUBE !  Since moving to ESSEX with

my PARENTS ~ I (BRIAN) am learning to be *London Underground Man*

We NEVER EVER take our cars into LONDON ! We take the Train into

Liverpool Street and TUBE or BUS from there ~ AMEN !
