Bakerloo line
A free day out on the Bakerloo line
5 genuinely free places across 3 stops. Listed in line order, so you can ride it end to end and stop off as you go.
Rose gardens, open-air theatre lawns (show tickets paid), boating lake and Primrose Hill views a short walk north.
Over 2,000 Western European paintings on Trafalgar Square, from Van Gogh's Sunflowers to Turner — free entry to the permanent collection; only some loan exhibitions charge.
Next door to the National Gallery — portraits of Tudor monarchs, the Brontës and contemporary Britain, free to visit; the Taylor Wessing Photo Prize and some shows are ticketed.
Nelson's Column, the fountains and the rotating Fourth Plinth commission — London's civic square, free and open around the clock.
Free riverside stroll from Westminster Bridge to Tower Bridge — street performers, book market under Waterloo Bridge, and skyline views.
Ride a different line from the Tube map of free things to do, or check costs, parking and opening times in the full London guide. Straight-line station matches, not walking-route promises — use TfL for the journey itself.
