Short answer: No. If you absolutely must travel across London on December 25, treat the Tube like a shy relative at a party—it might show up, but don’t bank on it. Plan your journey in advance. Pack snacks. Bring a portable charger. And maybe, just maybe, embrace the chaos. Because nothing says “Christmas spirit” like waiting on a platform for 20 minutes, clutching a half-eaten Yule log, and bonding with strangers over the sheer absurdity of it all.
And if all else fails, you can always do what the Victorians did: walk. London is quite beautiful when it’s empty—except for the seagulls fighting over a dropped chip. So, merry Christmas, London. May your journey be short, your turkey abundant, and your Tube surprisingly punctual. (It won’t be, but a person can dream.)
