Station Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi at Tube stations

We have partnered with Virgin Media to bring Wi-Fi to over 260 London Underground stations and Victoria Coach Station - more than 97% of the London Underground network.
You can use the Wi-Fi service to go online anywhere in those Tube stations - in ticket halls and walkways, and on platforms.
If you're a Virgin Media, EE, Vodafone, O2 or Three customer you can use the Wi-Fi service for free as part of your plan.

Using the Wi-Fi service
Once you've activated Virgin Media WiFi, your device will automatically pick up the Wi-Fi signal when you're in a Wi-Fi enabled Tube station. There's no signal in tunnels, but your phone will connect to the signal at the next Wi-Fi enabled platform so you can pick up where you left off.
Stations with Virgin Media WiFi

Hints and tips
- For the best experience, connect to the Virgin Media WiFi service in the ticket hall when you first enter a Tube station
- Your phone remembers the Wi-Fi network you connect to most frequently. Open Wi-Fi in your device settings and connect to Wi-Fi in the Tube station ticket hall or platform to connect quickly
- It typically takes five seconds to connect to the Virgin Media WiFi service at a Tube station (this delay is due to a security feature). If you are trying to connect at a peak time in a busy station (when hundreds of other people are also trying to connect), it may take slightly longer
- If you aren't able to connect to the Wi-Fi network before you get on a Tube train, don't try to connect on the train as you travel from station to station. To save battery life, some devices extend the time that they search for Wi-Fi hotspots. It's better to wait and connect when you get off the train
- If you are a Virgin Media, EE, O2, Three or Vodafone customer, please register for the service before trying to connect. Further information can be found via your mobile network operator's website. Once you've registered, you'll be able to connect to the Wi-Fi service seamlessly
- If you have any queries or issues connecting please contact your mobile network operator
