London: London Underground
built 630 days ago
London Underground is an addictive live role-playing game played by millions of Londoners every day beneath the streets of London. It's a damn RIP OFF - For the price of a single-journey ticket, "commuters" (as game participants are called) are armed with a laser gun and a truncheon. The aim of the game is to battle your way through the crowds of commuters to get to Mornington Crescent

London has one international rail route (operated by Eurostar [33]) from Paris (2h15) and Brussels (1h50) diving under the sea for 22 high speed miles (35km) via the Channel Tunnel to come out in England. It terminates at St Pancras International. There are no less than 12 main line National Rail [34] terminals (although in conversation you may hear the brand National Rail infrequently if ever it differentiates main line and London Underground services; journey planner online or phone 08457 48 49 50). With the exception of Fenchurch Street (nearest tube: Tower Hill) these are on the London Underground. Most are on the circle line. Clockwise starting at Paddington, major National Rail stations are:

Transport for London runs the London Underground (the world's first metro or underground rail network)... known as the Tube. Government proposals to place the Underground network under a "public-private partnership" arrangement have encountered widespread opposition.

The lack of attractions in London is not due to a lack of effort.... Those noteworthy accomplishments of its inhabitants have a peculiar habit of being knocked over, being declared indecent by the general public and then getting knocked over, or simply disappearing. In the case of the latter, the equally glaring lack of a standard police force has prevented any competent exploration of who took the missing attraction, or where the missing attraction has gone, although many suspect Noel Edmonds of hoarding them in his secret underground bunker near Paisley.

The River Thames flows through London on its way to the North Sea. The river is easily navigable and so London has historically been a major port. London has several smaller rivers which feed into the River Thames. However, many of these rivers have been built over, and so now only exist in underground pipes (see Subterranean rivers of London).
