Central line (London Underground)

The Central Line is a line of the London Underground. It is a deep-level "tube" line, running East-West across London, and is the longest line on the Underground. Until the closure of the Epping-Ongar section, the far terminus at Ongar was the further point from London on the network.

The line is coloured red on the Tube map.
