Transport for London (TfL) has announced that all Night Tube services will return after being suspended in March 2020 due to the pandemic.
Services on the Piccadilly line are set to return on Friday 29 July and will run throughout the night on Fridays and Saturdays. This marks the return of full Night Tube and Night Overground services.
The Night Tube services on the Central and Victoria lines were the first to start operating from November 2021. The service returned to the Jubilee and Northern lines in May and June 2022.
Night Overground services between Highbury & Islington and New Cross Gate returned in December 2021.
TfL claims this will promote safe travel around the capital at all hours.
Amy Lamé, London’s night czar and chair of the Night Time Borough Champions Network, said: “I’m thrilled that the Night Tube is returning to the Piccadilly line on Friday and Saturday nights.
“The return of all Night Tube services will enable those working throughout the night to travel to and from work safely and cheaply.
“Importantly, for the city’s night-time businesses, this will also give Londoners and visitors more ways to access and enjoy the capital’s world-leading hospitality and entertainment after dark.”
According to TfL, since the Night Tube’s return in November 2021, 3.2 million entries and exits have been recorded, which it claims shows the demand for the service.
