London Underground



Main article: London Underground in popular culture

The Underground has been featured in many movies and television shows, including Sliding Doors, Tube Tales and Neverwhere. The London Underground Film Office handles over 100 requests per month. The Underground has also featured in music such as The Jam's "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" and in literature such as the graphic novel V for Vendetta. Popular legends about the Underground being haunted persist to this day.[41]

After placing a number of spoof announcements on her web page, London Underground voice over artiste Emma Clarke had any further contracts cancelled in 2007. [42][43]

But in July 2007 the same page showed the same route length even though there were more stations. Thus it must not have been fully updated for the closure of the East London Line, whose route length was about 7 km.
