Temperatures on the Tube have been sweltering this week, with one carriage standing out as particularly hot - a mini steam room set up on an out-of-service carriage. The unusual setup was created at Walthamstow's Pumphouse Museum.
Commuters have reported that the hottest Tube lines are the Central line, followed by Northern and Victoria, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C. Passengers are frequently advised to avoid travel unless necessary during these heatwaves.
A recent survey found that three in four Londoners think travelling on the Tube without air conditioning is more uncomfortable than sitting in a hot sauna. This comparison was brought to life by a retailer, highlighting the extreme conditions of summer commuting.
The retailer noted that while it's not possible to cool down the Central Line, they can offer products to help people relax and recover at home. Their range includes technology, wellness, beauty, and lifestyle products designed to help people unwind and recharge.
According to commuters, the top hottest Tube lines are: Central Line (37%), Northern Line (23%), Victoria Line (22%), Piccadilly Line (17%), and Bakerloo Line (16%).
