North Greenwich tube station tourist data

Request ID: FOI-0387-2021
Date published: 10 July 2020

You asked

I am an undergrad student, currently writing a bachelor thesis on the perception of the underground public transport system in the Royal Borough of Greenwich from the view of German event tourists (aka focused visitors) aged 18 to 24 y.o. For that research I am currently collecting data on the tourist use of the North Greenwich underground station and was wondering if you could help me out and provide any data on tourism use of the London underground.
