The Jubilee


The London Underground system is the city-wide subway train system that locals and tourists use to quickly get around the city. The entire Underground network system is made up of 275 stations on 12 rail lines. The different lines are marked on maps with colours to help you keep track of where you are and where you are going. . The line which I choose is the grey. The name of this line is Jubilee. This tube had 27 stations and a length of 36.2 km (22.5 mi). Important stations are the Stanmore, Stratford, London Bridge and Westminster. Stanmore and Stratford are the terminal stations of this line. London Brigde and Westminster are among to the stations which are important because you can see sights.

One of this sights is the London Brigde. London Bridge is a bridge between the City of London and Southwark in London, England, over the River Thames. It was the only bridge over the Thames downstream from Kingston until Putney Bridge opened in 1729.

The other sight is the Westminster Abbey. The Church of St Peter at Westminster, which is almost always referred to popularly and informally as Westminster Abbey, is a large, mainly Gothic church, in Westminster, London, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English, later British and later still (and currently) monarchs of the Commonwealt Realms. It briefly held the status of a cathedral from 1546–1556, and is currently a Royal Peculiar.
