Circle line (London Underground)

Review byJamy· 2026-11-04

★★

The Circle Line, though historied and distinct in it's orbiting of central London, has largely lost it's purpose. Sharing all it's stations with superior services (though mostly only slightly), if you ever find yourself needing to take specifically the circle line, you'll experience a special misery that only a Londoner can feel. Standing forlorn on the draughty platform, you'll watch many trains pass until your circle line service arrives and pass by pointless stations like Mansion House on your journey to somewhere which would've been faster and more efficient on another line. Nice trains and carriages, though not enough to shift the despair.
