Passengers travelling on the London Underground now have the convenience of accessing free Wi-Fi at some of the network’s busiest stations, thanks to several mobile phone providers offering connectivity services.

As more sections of the Tube network are equipped with 4G and 5G connectivity, passengers can stay connected to the internet even while riding deep underground. Recent developments include the availability of coverage on Elizabeth line platforms, escalators, and ticket halls at Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, and Liverpool Street.

Additionally, a significant portion of the London Underground network in the West End now boasts uninterrupted high-speed mobile connectivity. Plans are underway to extend coverage to the Victoria and Piccadilly lines by the end of March. Furthermore, connectivity will be expanded to include the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the stretch between Highbury and Islington and New Cross on the London Overground within the next two years. It is projected that by the end of 2024, a substantial portion of the entire Tube network will be equipped with 4G and 5G mobile coverage.

Currently, the Wi-Fi network providers available on the Underground include EE, Vodafone, Three, and O2 (Wifi Extra). Moreover, 4G and 5G connectivity are offered by Three, EE, Vodafone, Virgin Media, O2, and Sky Mobile.

Getting online while traveling on the Tube is straightforward. Upon entering a station or boarding a train, passengers’ phones should automatically connect to the wireless internet provided by TfL. In tunnels between stops, phones should seamlessly switch to 4G or 5G. However, if this does not occur, passengers are advised to ensure that their mobile data is enabled in their device settings.

Stay connected and enjoy the convenience of free Wi-Fi services while traveling on the London Underground.
