- The London Tube Memory Game has been driving everyone mad as you try and get 100% by naming all the stations ... here's my thoughts and tips for maximising your score and getting them all right!
Play the Quiz at: london.metro-memory.com/
SHORTCUTS:
You can type "St" instead of Street
You can type "Rd" instead of Road
You can miss out apostrophes in station names
You can also miss out the "-" and "&" symbols wherever they appear

I got 15%, which, given that I don't live in the UK but merely visit the city as a tourist, is something I'm quite proud of 😂
I don't want to try it now just in case I get less than 15% and I live in London but I'm in SE London where there is no tube... ;o)
I think I'd be bad anyway, when I travel around on the tube I use the TFL Go app and it tells me where to go so I just look for the names of stations I'm changing at and not the ones along my route.
11% and I'm an American who's only been to the city twice😅
42% not lived in England for 23 years and never lived in.London. absolutely loved this quiz
I got 91% and I’ve only been there twice, last time in 2019
Dan 32 percent and not British!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had trouble with Holland Park.
Thank you for the shoutout! Developer here. If everyone agrees that the trams should be on here, I can add them. It would make everybody's score fall a bit, though.
I do think that would be good also add the stop that are thames link that are Essex road and Drayton park that line up to Finsbury Park
I like Geoff's suggestion of making them optional, I would take off the DLR and Overground to make it a bit easier!
“Turkey St, funniest name on the tube map”… Geoff’s never got a northbound Piccadilly line train confirmed
So just for a giggle, if you want to confuse your friends! Suggest these plausible sounding station names to them ...
Acton High Street, Brent Park, Chadwell Gate, Custom Town, Cross Quays, Deptford Gardens, Gidea Wood, Harrow & Harlington, Langdon Road, Manor Heath, Royal Dock, West Beckton, Wimbledon Green,
Hey Geoff it's me Luka I went to your "the biggest tube nerd" I asked if you thought they were going to extend the northern line!
I htink i've already tried all of those myself. I swear there's a Royal Docks somwhere.. (don't get me started about silvertown)
I really like the idea of Clay Street
I wonder if people can have their name on a station i.e. Paddington
Royal Docks is extremely plausible, the others are just a mish-mash of other station names put together.
As a non-brit i got around 80%. Mostly because of the song by Jay Foreman, which I‘ve memorised
That was my idea
Clearly not well enough! (I’m joking, well done. I got to 39%)
I got as far as “Pim-li-co”

No, I don't care if I spelled any wrong. And yes, I did just shove NE and BPSSSSSSS at the end.
I got 90.7%, and I've never lived in London, I just watch lots of videos about it and have looked at the tube map a lot (I don't live so far, it's only an hour twenty on the train, and I go a few times a year). As someone on the autistic spectrum, it's a major focused interest of mine and seeing some of the tube helps me unwind. Singing the song in my head helped me with some of the gaps in my recollection of the actual tube. Mostly I did it by taking a mental journey along each line
You slightly beat me. I got 87.8% in my first attempt, taking about 30 mins. I live in Staffordshire. Annoyed to forget some easy ones like Stepney Green and Pontoon Dock.
New series idea: after "End of the Line" let's portrait "The penultimate stops of the Line"
Geoff's already about halfway there with his Least Used Station on Each Line series, which he did years ago for the Londonist chanel. Turns out that the least used station on any given line is often one away from a terminus.
580 out of 582 here - just Langley and West Drayton missing. A good couple of rainy afternoons well spent.
LOL,I ended up getting 100.3% 😂😂 tested two of my friends on a group call and they managed to get to 70% together, I was very impressed. Sad that Battersea Park didn't feature ahaha
Battersea power station is on there
@@lancebudd2006 But some Overground trains go to/from Battersea Park station.
@@lancebudd2006, Battersea Park station, distinct from Battersea Power Station station, is one with limited London Overground service and that does not appear on the Tube map.
It would be fun if there was a version of this where you could also tag the ones you’ve been to (in your case Geoff that’s’a all of them but the rest of us could use a checklist !).
(I got 86.0% from memory - soo much more work to do!)
I fully agree, I have a big map on my wall, and I highlight every station I have either entered or exited (not transferred onto another line) it is a fun (much longer term) challenge
Played this recently. Surprised myself with how well I remembered the network even though I've moved out of the City. Great content as always Geoff
Brook Newington, Edgware Bridge, Sutton By-pass
The developer is a french guy (he does these metro games for lots of cities) and was briefly interviewed on BBC London ... in the same segment that Geoff was on!
Thanks for the many Enfield references Geoff. I used to travel from Rue de la Dinde frequently. Before the Southbury Loop was re-opened in 1962, the previous name for Turkey Street was Forty Hill.
As someone who lives in the south-east of London, I haven't a snowball's chance in hell
Thanks a lot for posting this, it's actually a beautiful map and a really useful resource for a amateur tube map designers
Love the mnemonics. As a nurse we utilize them often to aid with recall. I was able to get to 20% with the extra help from your video. Pretty good as I am in the states and only get to visit.
I got 54% from memory, then added the rest when watching different London transport videos.
That trick, at 6:29, is what I use on the CrossLizPurp line from Ealing Broadway, as I used to travel work at Hayes & Harlington. It's interesting what sticks in your brain, when you hear it often enough.
That was fun! I scored 71.6% - It's many of the peripheral stations that foxed me. It's interesting to search around a geographically accurate tube/overground/DLR map rather than the Harry Beck diagrammatic one.
Oh Geoff you are so funny describing this and so enthusiastic about it. Great video.
Managed to get to 61% as a non-london resident BUT a big train nerd here in Cambridgeshire
I got 99% from memory - given I knew nothing about the Tube pre-pandemic, I was fairly pleased with it, although the ones I missed seem so obvious now... I spent 24 hours at it, which I entirely blame on the huge amount of information in your videos!
I've spent many days doing this; it was quite fun! I'm strongest on the east side but was disappointed in myself at the amount of DLR stops I missed. I gave up last night on the west side and filled the rest in, but nothing happened after 100%. I'm going to play it over until I get better at memorising them!
I actually find the DLR stations some of the easiest to remember because the names are so weird and interesting, like Devons Road, Pudding Mill Lane, Heron Quays, Limehouse, etc. I think they're more distinctive than the other lines.
For some strange reason, when I were a lad, I memorised all the stations on the district line between Stepney green and upminster. Because I continued to recite this list, it is permanently in my memory! Much as I have done with some songs that I have to solo occasionally! The list served no purpose, until today, if I wanted to do the tube map challenge, which, as an old duffer, now, I don't! Sorry Geoff! But absolutely entertaining video, as usual, none the less!
This is the first I've heard of this game, so thanks very much for the new obsession Geoff
Up to 63.2% from memory alone so far. Will watch the video and get a few stations from it in a few days. Once I've thoroughly given up on my memory
Jay Foreman’s song helped for the tube stations, but when it got to the Overground I found myself trying to remember voiceovers from your videos!
I think it all depends on where you live in London. As I live in east London, I find that particularly easy (DLR, district etc.). But the west London stations are trickier such as those on the Piccadilly and west Elizabeth line
I've tried this several times in the past fortnight or so, each time with a couple of days between finishing the last session and starting the next. Being a bit of a Tube enthusiast myself but living in the East Midlands, I thought this would be a doddle but, like you Geoff, it's those pesky London Overground stations out to Enfield Town, Cheshunt and Chingford, out to West Croydon and Crystal Palace, and the DLR stations out to Stratford (I'm especially bad at remembering Langdon Park every time!), Beckton and Woolwich Arsenal that leave me falling short every time. The highest I've achieved without recourse to a map was around 97%.
The way I usually go about getting a higher score in the next session is to try to remember the tricky ones (that I've had to look up) that I inputted last in the previous session.
you got me hooked on that I have spent a couple of hours pn it and got 40 % got stuck on Osterly and Northfields kept thinking it was Southfields
Love the videos plus loved seeing you on the news
I lived in London for a year and a half and I could get around 20%, feeling not so proud of myself since there were so many stations I'd gone through or used and I couldn't remember. I burned so many neurons playing this game. Addictive....
Hi Geoff I been loving these videos you've been doing for Devon you've been given me lots of information for me and my family to work with which is really good, useful and helpful information like I said for me and for me and my family So Thank you for the videos or the bits of videos for Devon I really appreciate it. Coming up possibly this year or next year have a new station coming hopefully called Edginswell Station inbetween I think Newton Abbot and Torquay once the station is built or open either this year or next year can you please do a video about Edginswell Station when it comes either this year or next year please.
I managed 81.3% of all stations from memory. I've been to every one of these stations, and the ones that I forgot are the ones in areas I rarely go to.
The timing of this quiz was very convenient for me. I went on a learning spree last month using the quizzes on sporcle. There's one quiz which has all of the exact same stations as this memory game, including Overground, DLR and Elizabeth line, but also excluding the trams, so that is as far as I got learning them before I decided it wasn't worth it (the trams don't have enough overlap with the rest of the network for me to bother). The moment I found out about this game I aced it with 100.2% first try!
Also, the mnemonics are a wonderful idea, although your Overground one is missing Seven Sisters in between Stamford Hill and Bruce Grove, as I'm guessing you would've filled it in using the Victoria line already. If you want to make sure you don't forget it's also on that part of the Overground, perhaps you could imagine you're giving the advice to a sister: "Really Stop Stressing, Sister, Because Winning Solves Everything".
I got 95% at a breeze, racked my brain a bit to reach 98.5% and only missed out on the rest which were mainly Overground ones going up to Enfield and Watford. Would be great if Thameslink and National rail is added as well!
Geoff, I know the Eastern end of the District Line and have done so all my adult life, cos I live near Elm Park! Good video mate, keep it going.
Thank you for the video Geoff that was great information.
This quiz definitely humbled me. I was hoping I would get over 50% but only got 21.5%. I only really got stations on the picadilly, Victoria & jubilee, as these are the lines I use most frequently.
I don't know whether it counts as a shortcut but if you type 'prk' instead of 'park', it counts. Also, the word 'junction' can be counted in as a common word.
Your end of the line series is at least part of the reason I got all the terminus stations no problem
I got to 86.4% but progress was getting very slow by this stage. I also had to go into London during this spell and kept found my eyes wandering to the maps when I was sitting on the tube and I accidentally saw an answer before remembering I was supposed to be avoiding spoilers. My areas of problem were Overground out of Euston, Bakerloo, and outer reaches of Metropolitan and western parts of Elizabeth. Central London and East London +and even South London) was pretty well covered.
It took me about a week as well but I got to 93.5% I gave up when I managed to finally complete all the Underground stations (Buckhurst Hill came to me in the middle night to much joy!) I had done 100% an all-the-tube-stations sporcle many years ago so I knew they were all in my head somewhere. I had also already decided that certain branches of the DLR/Overground/Elizabeth Line I was never going to get having never been on them, but did end with 5 stations I knew I had been through occasionally but hadn't remembered the name. I was still pulling out names like Brockley out of nowhere on the last day. I've never been through Turkey Street but that name is unforgettable!
As for tips for how to remember stations, I try to link some stations together. For example when remembering Hanger Lane on the central line, I think that's got a connector blob with Park Royal on the Piccadilly Line, and then I go 'Park Royal -> Royal Oak -> Burnt Oak/Oakwood'. And that ticks off a few of the more obscure ones. You can just pair stations up like 'Colindale and Colliers Wood' or 'Stamford Brook and Stamford Hill' so when you remember one you can get the other.
I got 95% in one go when it first came out, which went up to 96% after Iver and Kentish Town were added. I got all 272 LU stations (apart from Hornchurch, can you tell I’ve never worked on the eastern District), All Elizabeth and most DLR, although the Overground was my downfall (only got about 60% of LO) particularly large gaps in the eastern half. I’ve not added any others that I’ve remembered since.
I've only had the one try but I went line by line, starting with the District, cos it's my nearest line, bit iffy on the Overground and Bakerloo. Good fun though.
It took me an hour first go, got it in 25 mins the other day. I just sang Jay foreman’s tube station song , found the easten overground lines out of Liverpool Street the hardest.
I'm from Upminster so that whole end of the District line is pretty much seared into my memory. Except for Upney, took me ages to remember that one.
I tried this for the first time on the way back from your live show last week on the train. I got 30.4%, considering I have only been a tube nerd for a year and a bit and I don’t live in London I don’t think that’s too bad!
So glad you were interviewed for this by the BBC. Jay Foreman would just sing it 😂
Oh wow, I got more than you on the first try (92%), crazy! I got stuck mostly on the outer reaches of Purpline and newer parts of the Overground. Then again I visited every single Tube / DLR / Overground station, all tram stops, and all National Rail stations within TfL area (and many more outside of it) which definitely helped. I got 33% in Paris and 45% in Berlin which I feel like more of an achievement as I never lived there, unlike my former home of London.
Been stuck on 270/272 for ages.
Whilst watching the first few mins of your video, not sure if you mentioned Bound Green at that point if it just came to me! That's 271/272, the station on the District line East of Barking remains my only gap... Which you then helped me with Upney (got it with your pneumonic before you revealed it)
Im only in the 70%s for the Overground and DLR so have a long way to go...
Love that you dont know that northern section of the Piccadilly line.
Lived in Wood Green/Bounds Green for 25 yrs so any quiz like this can usually ace Cockfosters to around Green Park
Good morning Geoff,
I've been working on this game and will get to 100%
I'm at 82.3% at the moment.
I attempt it from zero about every 2 weeks
I do it on my phone.
I limit it to 90 mins for 2 reasons.
To find a quiet place or in bed so no cheating and to make sure I can stop, let go and make sure I can switch off and clear the game.
90 mins is recommended as a limit we can concentrate for and not get frustrated.
Great tips Geoff.
I don't think it's fair to leave the game open because if you go out, you will hear names and add later.
I will complete this game in 90 mins
28.3%. As a student in London for just a month, I haven't explored the entire network yet😇And I find it hard to memorize the stations in the southern part of the circle line.😀
I did it in an hour and a half in one go and got to 92%. Did the western Elizabeth but failed going out to Essex, between Romford and Shenfield. Had a stinker with the DLR but did all but a couple on the tube, interestingly, forgot the Totteridge bit of Whetstone and a couple more between Rayners Lane and Ealing Common on the Pic. Think I got 100% on the Overground which I was very surprised with. I did remember a couple more in the days following but having now checked the ones I missed, most I wouldn't have remembered, some even known, especially on the DLR. I was disappointed with 92%, I expected to be very close.
I got 70%, havent lived in London for years and when I was there was firmly routed in south and central areas, so Overground and DLR is a bit of a mystery!
I read somewhere a verse mnemonic for the stations west of Paddington, which included the poetic gem “I’ve a yen for a lang lang lay”
Got 34% before this video. Tried filling in station names as Geoff said them, no pausing, no replaying, and got it up to 43% :D
I got 70% as a Londoner. Was enough for me. Overground and DLR was where I was weak, which you mentioned should be effectively a harder level.
I would really love to see some more cities to be added. Especially something more local to me. I would kill to be able to play this type of game with Kraków trams.
Funny, if you finish it, you actually get 100.3% (wrote this before I watched the whole video!). I got to 41% on my own, which I think is not bad considering I live in Oregon and have just made 4 London visits so far. I finished by listening to RUclips videos of each lines station announcements while on the quiz and then having to figure out the wording/spelling on my own.
When you know Jay Foreman's tube station song!!!
You mention mnemonics several times, which I always find very useful.
I actually watched a BBC programme in the 70s called Use Your Head, with Tony Buzan who explained several memory tricks, including mnemonics. As per your examples, mnemonics help the memory, but trying to use somebody elses's mnemonic isn't the best approach. Making up your own, perhaps with silly, stupid or even rude sentences, will help them stick in your mind. Sadly i still know many from my university days.
I just see now, on the internet that Tony Buzan sadly died in 2019, but he was certainly an exccellent teacher of all things memory related.
For just the London Underground stations, I am trying to memorize Jay Foreman's every tube station song lol
Same! It's helplessly catchy. The only thing is that sometimes it screws with my memorized adjacencies. For instance, the Victoria line goes Brixton - Stockwell - Vauxhall - Pimlico... but in my head I start singing Brixton - Barbican - Chorleywood - Amersham...
Same 😂
i remembered chorleywood and rickmansworth from when you were on that one fanatics episode i literally have it committed to memory loll :)
There is the same about the Paris Metro. I got 97% on the Paris one) The remaining 3% were more brainfarts or places I never go to.
Of course I ran into the same problems as you did with those few stops usually just before a terminus.
At first I complete the termini, then main interchangesn then the lines or sections of lines I usually take all the time because I know them by heart and then fill in the blanks.
Remembering tons of mnemonic phrases can be cumbersome considering the number of lines.
I'd suggest that you simply learned them by heart like multiplication tables...
I wonder if NY city or Chicago has the equivalent game. The Paris one only has the metro, no RER, no trams.
Edit, it has RERs and Trams now.
I'd never heard of this when I first saw this video. I had a go anyway and got just over 50% (ex-pat Brit who visits London maybe once every two or three years). It helps that the big, well known stations count for more percentage-wise as they have more lines.
I honestly thought it would be impossible to ever get 100%. It just seemed so overwhelming. But, with a week of nothing to do, aided by some poor weather, I spent the last 4 or 5 mornings, practicing, learning, practicing again and I finally got 100% this morning - three times in a row! And I consider myself as someone with a "bad memory". It's really astounding what our brains can do if we just push the boundaries a bit.
Now I'm just at a bit of a loss as I have nothing so addictive to fill my time. Maybe testing myself against the clock. Or... trying to draw the map from scratch...
EDIT: top mnemonic tip: You don't have to have the stations in the right order or even know exactly where they are. So, if the initial letters of the names don't work for you... mix them up! Also try to have the words you choose begin with the first TWO letters of the station name where possible. And don't try to rely on somebody else's mnemonic - your brain doesn't work like that.
As a Londoner and tube nerd, it took me 3 days just to get 74% and I gave up. I almost got all the tube stations but struggled with uxbridge (picc) branch and the Ruislip branch on the central. My idea was the jay forman tube song and also naming all the terminus stations of each line then working my way inwards.
Got 65% first try, then 70%, now I can get 90% comfortably, but the final 10% is always stuff I know and have inputted before but somehow forgot on another try. Like sometimes I will remember all the obscure ones that I didn't know on my first try but then I will forget easy ones like holloway road, holland park, turnpike lane, sloane square etc. all that ive done before on other tries. Getting 100% in 1 sit from memory is a true achievement
My favourite DLR station is Cutty Sark For Marintime Greenwich, Lewisham, Stratford,Bow Church and Devons Road.
I’m need to have a go, I’ll be impressed if I get more than 30% though! Off the top of my head I reckon I’d struggle to get 50% on the Metrolink map as well and I commute on that every day
I got 46% and spent a couple of hours. I live on Met in Bucks so knew most N & NW London. I struggled out East
Though being a Yorkshireman I have journeyed on occasion to London, to see WHU (though not to Elizabeth Stadium yet) or take part in RideLondon-Surrey100 so was chuffed to get 26% without too much effort - stations on Hammersmith & District lines for most part with a number of random ones scattered around. Re-watching the video and the comments got me to 34.9%
Got about 82% one evening straight from memory but funny enough I struggled exactly with all the bits you mention as tricky 😅
I don't think Thameslink should be included without the Southern metro, Southeastern Metro, South Western Metro, Thames branches, Chiltern Railways, the Northern City Line or the West Anglia Mainline. Thameslink is just national rail, and isn't more important than any other
Geoff ur knowledge of the underground is 2nd to none but with great pleasure I can announce I beat u by 5% I got 95% on my 1st attempt not bad for some body who lives in the wilds of suffolk and only uses the network a few times a year
another shortcut you can use is 'hounslow weast' which gives you hounslow west and east in one go
not super useful but kinda cool ig 😂
Love your vids Geoff 😊
I got 80% but then since I live East of London I got all East Central, District & Elizabeth lines. But with getting that score was due to Grandparents taking us everywhere by Tube it was West side of London and overground I struggled on
Was stuck at 87.9%, thanks for a few more! I don't think this is cheating as I haven't looked at a map. Now on 89.8%!
“Mornington Crescent?”
99.5%! Just missed about 5 DLR stations, one of which is the one for ExCel, and another was the last one before Woolwich, which I thought was called George V, but that wasn't accepted by the game. I think I even tried King George V, to no avail.
Plus around 40% for Paris. Bring on the Manchester Metrolink!
I got 51%, not bad for someone that doesn't live in London! (but visit's often!).
A friend got the 100'3% total. I was mad that I got the Central Line completed, but another station was added wrongly (it was corrected later).
Am I the only one with Jay Foreman's Every tube station song playing in my head all the time? :D
It took me about 40 mins, and was surprised to get 101% as I knew I could not draw the last king/prince/royal DLR station out of my brain. We of course now know why. Agree Geoff, it is much fiddlier on a phone, but I had no choice.
I live an hour and a half outside of London but i think i would probably pass that quiz i know everything about London and i know pretty much almost every station in London
not a tube officionado, but after living in london for 10 years, I got 41%. My main missing areas are just the east and north of london.
I’ve only been twice to London, last time was in 2019, and I got 91.2% (530)
Missed some not so hard ones like Devons Road, Langdon Park, Stepney Green, Northolt, Slough, Cheshunt and North Wembley, but I got some obscure ones like Queen’s Road Peckham, Bushey, Burnt Oak, Buckhurst Hill or Homerton.
They should totally add abandoned stations and Tramlink. Might as well play in a few months to see how I do and if I can beat my score.
Geoff you know for Lambeth North does it connect towards Elephant & Castle for a 15 mins walk and by tube a 6 mins journey?
Got 48.5% and have lived in London for the last 15 years....got the main ones, random ones, where I've been and end of lines. But it's the ones beyond zone 2 that I've never been to that got me...Still happy though haha
Geoff, have you tried the quiz on station names on the Dublin Rail area map and the Luas map? And how well did you do?
I've found that with "and" stations, you don't need to enter the "and" (or "&"), just "Chalfont Latimer" or "Harrow Wealdstone" will do.
I got 97.9% - pretty proud of myself
But some of those metropolitan line stations on the end and Hainault loop escaped my mind 😭
Also some of those DLR names ...
Although I watched this video first, I got 100%. I did it line by line, and the two that got me thinking was Eastcote and a missing Overground station at the end, which turned out to be Barking Riverside.
I find the western end of the Elizabeth line hard, and when watching the video, I went through the stations and missed out Langley just like Geoff. I wonder if I would've got that in the quiz?
I remember the used to be one for the national rail companies on Sporkle. They were really hard.
As hard as I look, I cannot find Corrour....
Maybe give Jay Foreman's fabled tube station song a listen now and again. It won't get you everything (especially now there's two more stations on the underground not in his song) but it's got me a long way remembering bits of it each time!
Got 85% without too much trouble. The second I gave up a whole host of DLR stations came to mind!
I'd love to see it with every station in London, including the Ruislip Lido Railway!
i agree with the point of thameslink being possible on here as thameslink is on the tube map and some of the stop names could throw people off
I got 74% before I gave up! It was the DLR and the Overground that got me!
Played for a couple of hours and got up to 50% (291 stations). Each one is taking longer and longer and I’ve got no chance with all 112 overgrounds and the east side of the central line I’ve never needed to look at!
I moved out of the London three years ago and there’s definitely a whole bunch I’ve forgotten since then - I could do several lines from memory a few years back and that’s all just leaked out.
