Application Description
SHORTLISTED FOR BEST TOURISM EXPERIENCE IN BT VISIT LONDON AWARDS 2009
With Tube Guru a journey on the London Underground will never be quite the same. The affectionately named Tube is the world’s oldest underground railway so its millions of passengers are actually visitors to a unique working museum…
This one-of-a-kind app is the perfect companion to the Tube experience, digging up a treasure trove of indispensable facts and figures, fables and falsehoods - did London Underground REALLY employ a one-legged man to ride up and down the escalators? Use it at home, on a plane, on the Tube - the encounter begins well before the ticket hall and continues long after leaving.
To make the most of a visit there are ideas to consider before setting off, along with essential visitor information, travel planner and useful links. When in London there are suggestions for all manner of Tube-related things to see and do as well as ideas for something completely different. Points of interest include an introduction, contact details and weblinks and when online appear in a directory of the nearest 100, listed by proximity and plotted on Google Maps.
Don’t forget that essential piece of Tube attire - headphones, because there’s an hour of atmospheric audio guide to use how you want to. Enjoy before you go, listen again on the Tube and keep as a lasting memento. With pristine sound quality and filled with high quality music, cinematic sound design and dramatic reconstructions it’s a captivating way to become immersed in the many fascinating stories connected with the Tube.
