Question 1 of 10
1. I begin my journey on the Northern Line, not too far from home in the deepest tube station of all. It's worth surfacing, though, to see all of the greenery and hike up Parliament Hill. Where in London am I? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. After having a picnic, I decide to head travel on the Piccadilly Line until I reach a place that Dickens knew well. I have to see a lawyer friend of mine so I head over to Gray's Inn Fields for a spell before returning to the busy streets. Which part of London am I in now? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. As I'm in the center of town, I decide to jump onto the Central Line and travel West. I decide to stretch my legs at a stop that is overwhelmed with tourists carrying travel books. Knowing the way, I rush past them toward the market to buy my mother an antique jewelry box for her birthday. Where in London can I find such a market? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. From here, I hop on the District Line only because it happens to arrive before a Circle Line train. I alight randomly and as I ascend the stairs unto the street see the Houses of Parliament directly in front of me. Where in London am I? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. As I'm feeling rather touristy after seeing Parliament and Westminster Abbey, I decide to hop on the Jubilee Line until I come to the stop nearest the London Eye. Where have I stopped? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Feeling as though I've done the tourist scene, I decide to take the Bakerloo line north from Waterloo. At my stop I surface and take a look around and see a well known statue. I give 50p to a homeless man and carry on walking into a large bookshop where I plan on purchasing a London A-Z. Which part of London am I in now? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. I've bought my A-Z and now it's time to keep moving. I switch to the Piccadilly line just for a change. It's a place of tragedy - housing memories of a catastrophic fire and terrorist attack - but also a place of magic. Which tube station am I in? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. It's time to begin the journey home, so I jump back on the Northern line heading north. I don't get very far, though, before the combined smells of foreign food, cannabis and sewage grab my attention and I exit into the middle of the second market of the day. Which lively bit of London am I in now? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Before heading home, I backtrack slightly for the sake of fun and arrive at a station that was nearly closed for good in 1993. I don't leave the tube station, but instead wander around it and appreciate the work that's been done and admire the blue tiling that surrounds me. A beautiful London underground, but which one? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. One final journey on the Northern Line brings me home. As I exit the station, I find myself on a busy high street with cars whizzing past. I can turn left and visit Poundstretcher or turn right towards the popular music venue, The Forum, and towards home. It's late and I'm tired, so I turn right. But what London tube station have I exited? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I begin my journey on the Northern Line, not too far from home in the deepest tube station of all. It's worth surfacing, though, to see all of the greenery and hike up Parliament Hill. Where in London am I?

Answer: Hampstead

Hampstead Heath has more than 790 acres of public park land. It houses Kenwood House, a beautiful stately home that provides the grounds for open-air concerts in the summer. It's stunning and doesn't feel like London at all.
2. After having a picnic, I decide to head travel on the Piccadilly Line until I reach a place that Dickens knew well. I have to see a lawyer friend of mine so I head over to Gray's Inn Fields for a spell before returning to the busy streets. Which part of London am I in now?

Answer: Holborn

I worked in Holborn for a number of months in a building that backed onto Gray's Inn. It's an interesting area of town very near plenty of lawyers and journalists. It's a part of London that rarely sleeps.
3. As I'm in the center of town, I decide to jump onto the Central Line and travel West. I decide to stretch my legs at a stop that is overwhelmed with tourists carrying travel books. Knowing the way, I rush past them toward the market to buy my mother an antique jewelry box for her birthday. Where in London can I find such a market?

Answer: Notting Hill Gate

Portobello Road Market is famous for its collection of antiques. Tourists flock to Notting Hill for the market and because of the fame it has enjoyed since Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant decided to make a movie about it.
4. From here, I hop on the District Line only because it happens to arrive before a Circle Line train. I alight randomly and as I ascend the stairs unto the street see the Houses of Parliament directly in front of me. Where in London am I?

Answer: Westminster

You'll find yourself standing on Westminster Bridge. This is also where you'll find Big Ben, which is the bell, not the clock.
5. As I'm feeling rather touristy after seeing Parliament and Westminster Abbey, I decide to hop on the Jubilee Line until I come to the stop nearest the London Eye. Where have I stopped?

Answer: Waterloo

Also sometimes called the Millennium Wheel, the Eye moves so slowly that it never has to stop to let passengers on and off. A complete cycle takes about 30 minutes.
6. Feeling as though I've done the tourist scene, I decide to take the Bakerloo line north from Waterloo. At my stop I surface and take a look around and see a well known statue. I give 50p to a homeless man and carry on walking into a large bookshop where I plan on purchasing a London A-Z. Which part of London am I in now?

Answer: Piccadilly Circus

The statue of Eros is technically called "The Angel of Christian Charity". There are plenty of other landmarks to let you know you're in Piccadilly Circus though, not least of all the gigantic advertising bulletins that scream down on you from Monico.
7. I've bought my A-Z and now it's time to keep moving. I switch to the Piccadilly line just for a change. It's a place of tragedy - housing memories of a catastrophic fire and terrorist attack - but also a place of magic. Which tube station am I in?

Answer: King's Cross St. Pancras

King's Cross famously suffered a fire in 1987 and was the site of one of the bomb attacks in July 2005. However, it is also the train station from which Harry Potter famously leaves for Hogwarts, so there's always hope!
8. It's time to begin the journey home, so I jump back on the Northern line heading north. I don't get very far, though, before the combined smells of foreign food, cannabis and sewage grab my attention and I exit into the middle of the second market of the day. Which lively bit of London am I in now?

Answer: Camden Town

Camden Town is famously Bohemian and it is probably a statistically impossible feat to visit without being offered various drugs more than once. Regent's Canal runs right through it and the famous collection of markets will keep any wanderer busy for an entire day.
9. Before heading home, I backtrack slightly for the sake of fun and arrive at a station that was nearly closed for good in 1993. I don't leave the tube station, but instead wander around it and appreciate the work that's been done and admire the blue tiling that surrounds me. A beautiful London underground, but which one?

Answer: Mornington Crescent

It reopened in 1998 and that by the cast of 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'. It isn't the busiest tube station on the map, but it is clearly loved by some.
10. One final journey on the Northern Line brings me home. As I exit the station, I find myself on a busy high street with cars whizzing past. I can turn left and visit Poundstretcher or turn right towards the popular music venue, The Forum, and towards home. It's late and I'm tired, so I turn right. But what London tube station have I exited?

Answer: Kentish Town

Kentish Town is distinctive, with its abundance of pubs, its independent shops, Rio's (the nudist public baths) and, of course, its provision of flats for those of us who call it home.
