This weekend will mark the first weekend ever of the tube running to Stratford around the clock!

Already the most connected neighbourhood in London with it's multitude of easily accessible tube and train lines, East Village will soon be reachable 24 hours a day at weekends with the release of the London Underground Night Tube. On August 19th 2016 London Underground will launch its first official 24 Tube Service, with one of the two first tube lines being rolled out serving East Village!

The first Night Tube services will kick off on the Central and Victoria Lines on Friday 19 August, with services on the Jubilee, Northern and Picadilly lines following in autumn.

It will be a 24 hour service offered on Fridays and Saturdays. Longer term Transport for London (TFL) hopes to roll it out onto the Overground and DLR, meaning Stratford stations will eventually be served by at least 4 different train lines for 24-hours at weekends. As the most visited city in the world, London will be joining just a handful of other top world cities, including New York and Berlin, which also provide metro services through the night. The new services will help to maintain London's status as a vibrant and exciting place to live, work and visit, something which is reflected by East Village with its independent bars, cafes and shops.

In addition to the Central and Jubilee tube lines, the former athletes village will also continue to be served 7 days a week by the DLR, overground and high speed rail services. East Village really is closer than you think.
