The Mayor of London has announced the first Night Tube service on the Jubilee line will begin on October 7.

Canons Park, Stanmore, Queensbury and Kingsbury stations all sit on the Jubilee line, which runs through Westminster and London Bridge to Stratford, meaning travel to key attractions such as the O2 and Wembley Stadium will be more accessible later into the night.

Sadiq Khan said: “I was determined to get the Night Tube up and running as soon as possible, and I’m delighted the Jubilee line will now begin on October 7.

“The launch of the Jubilee line will support thousands more workers like nurses, cleaners, and people who work in our bars and restaurants – many of whom currently take two night buses to get home.

“I will continue to work closely with British Transport Police, TfL staff and Londoners across our city to ensure the roll-out of the Night Tube continues to be a success, and we continue to unlock the full potential of London’s exciting night time economy.”

Successful services are now up and running on the Central and Victoria lines, with more than 100,000 people using the inaugural Night Tube last weekend.

The positive impact on London’s economy is already being felt, with footfall in Oxford Street and the West End up by 14 per cent and 16 per cent respectively on the service’s opening weekend.
