Description
Travel confidently around London with maps and live travel updates on our official TfL app. Check live arrival times for Tube, London Overground, DLR, Elizabeth line and Thameslink trains as well as Trams and IFS Cloud Cable Car. Make step-free journeys and look up station facilities. See on the map when stations and lifts are closed. Walking or cycling? Our reliable journey planner will map a safe route.
The app is built around our iconic Tube map. To get started:
• Touch the map or search to plan your journey
• See the status of all lines
• Check how busy each London Underground station is right now
• Re-route as you travel - we’ll suggest alternatives
• Switch to the step-free map for accessible journeys
• Find out when your next train, bus or tram is due
• Look up which platform your train will arrive on
• See when the stations you want to travel through are quieter
• Check out station information and facilities such as toilets
Most recently we’ve:
• Added more information about station toilets – find out where they are by gender and which ones are accessible and/or with baby changing facilities
• Built a new map showing nearby bus stops – making it simple to see where you can catch your bus from
• Refreshed the navigation – it’s even easier to get to the features you want
Our simple and clear layout is designed to make using the app easy for everyone.
Planning your journey: We’ll suggest multiple ways to get to your destination – you pick the one that suits you best. Choose the quickest journey, bus-only or one that’s step-free.
Check before you travel: See how the line is running and when to expect your next Tube, bus, train or tram
Freedom to explore: Choose the right travel options if you or someone you’re travelling with needs to avoid steps, lifts onto a train or in a station.
Bus stops near you: Find the bus stop nearest to where you are, and next bus live arrival information for every route.
Available underground via Wi-Fi (or 4G in some places) for live updates on the go.
What users have said:
“I think that out of all of the transport apps I have owned on my phone, this is by far the best”
“I love how clean the design of the app is & how easy it is to use. The best part of the app is it’s simplicity & how it helps you to navigate across London so effortlessly.”
“The map is awesome! The ability to zoom in and out and see more/less information as you do so. The station information is really useful and seeing which lines/stations are closed or have delays at a glance is really helpful. It’s also beautifully designed! Very slick, clean, and responsive.”
“The app is beautifully designed and free to use. Step free mode also works really well."
“This is a must have app … very much worth the wait. Well done TFL.”

Ratings and Reviews
I use this every time I go to London
This app is invaluable! I travel alone & am American , even tho this summer will be my 4th UK trip I am not comfortable going around London without a map ! . My first trip( 2016 ) it took me about 30 min every am & night to plan my journey etc ! I still got lost and my phone battery would die from constant use.
This app allows you to find the tube line you need and w a spare battery you should be fine alone!
I’m 60 and stay in Victoria area ( my fav) buy need no help now largely bc of this great app!
Lies and fabrications
If you've dealt with TfL's "services" for a while, you'll have noticed an abject lack of ... competence, and this app is completely towing company line in that respect. Routing suggestions are not incorrect, just mostly useless due to the apps other ... features. If you change location, you need to restart the app, it only looks that up once. Where things completely come apart is wrt "live" bus arrival/departure times. The app basically parrots the schedule. At best. Sometime it will refuse to suggest a direct bus, instead suggesting circuitous rutes, even up till and including when the bus arrives at your stop. Sometimes it will helpfully suggest you give up and walk the hour and a half, which is probably not the worst advice. I've come to believe that any estimation of London bus timing is a fool's game. I don't think TfL has any idea where they are at any time, so short of an AIS-like system that 3rd parties could receive, this will remain an unsolved problem. Shame, really, I've used public transport in other large cities (incl Paris) and it *can* be done.
When an app feels this good
As a tourist in London finding this app was amazing, but it goes beyond usability and into art. This app is such a great example of thoughtful and precise design. I’ve kept it on my phone after leaving London just to continue to fiddle around with it and continue to discover additional layers of loveliness.
