Tube etiquette
Beware of pickpockets.
Drinking alcohol or smoking anywhere on the underground is illegal.
When using the escalators, always stand on the right to allow people in a hurry to pass. If you are standing on the left people will occasionally ask grumpily for you to get out the way, especially during rush hour when commuters are far less forgiving.
Allow passengers to get off the train before boarding yourself by standing to the right or to the left of the train doors.
Move down the carriages if standing during busy periods
Have your Oyster card or ticket ready for the top of the escalators so not to obstruct barriers.
Be careful at the ticket barrier of people coming up close behind you in an attempt to get through the barrier on your ticket. This isn't a huge problem, but it does happen.
Some platforms in Zone 1 have the words "Mind the Gap" written on the platform edge. When the train stops, the carriage doors will usually line up with this warning.
Give up your seat to the elderly and those less able to stand, especially if the seat is reserved for such a purpose.
Never try to board or leave a train when the door warning (a rapidly-repeating high pitch beep) is sounding. Many older trains are not fitted with sensors to detect if the doors are blocked and it's all too easy to become stuck in the doors, although the train cannot start if the doors are still open.
