Starting underneath the clock at Paddington station your knowledgeable guide will take you straight onto the tube whilst sharing some of its history from the last 150 years.

As you travel along London's oldest stretch of railway line you'll be learning how it all began, why the lines were run by rival companies, and how today's computerised systems manage to keep the world's oldest underground transport system running like clockwork.

You'll also hear some spooky stories about all the dusty ghost stations still locked up underground, discover how accurate the tube map really is (or isn't!), and see some quirky sights that often go unnoticed by the busy commuters as they're bustling through the tunnels on their way to work.

By the time the tour comes to an end at Westminster station you'll feel like a bona fide Londoner with a new confidence in using the tube.
