As a foreign tourist in london, london needs to fix its infrastructure. The amount of fine dust in the tubes is criminal.



Pandemic or no pandemic, wearing a high filtration respirator (N95/FFP2 mask at a minimum) on the tube, where air pollution levels regularly exceed Beijing and Delhi, is advisable. Also sensible on inexplicably still diesel choked busy London streets above ground.


Streets are getting considerably better thanks to ULEZ and all the horrible busses and taxis being replaced.


Yeah tube dust is nasty. I’ll give you that. I barely ever use the tube now preferring to use overground trains and walk if possible.

A lot of people don’t seem to know that a lot of tube journeys can be done in a few minutes on foot.
