ASMR The London Underground (soft spoken, history, educational)

Preparing this topic was a lot! There is so much history and complexity, you could probably fill an entire channel with nothing but explorations of the London underground, so we're really just scratching the surface here. I hope you enjoy my ramblings and this fascinating glance into history. I'm also very excited to continue our exploration of London next week, with a map of the City during the Tudor era.

The diagrammatic map is by Douglas Rose, 9th edition. The book is the Depot Discovery by the London Transport Museum.

i live in a country where only capital has the Underground and it's SO small compared to the London one. that's why i enjoyed watching this video so much. asmr is literally perfect and educational/historical part of this video is amazing! thank you!

Great to hear you came to London, it’s hard to imagine all that activity beneath your feet ! Looking forward to next week.

Thanks for this wonderful and straightforward overview of a system with such a lengthy and complex history. Perhaps one day you can do a video of the history of diagrammatic transit maps, of which Harry Beck's famous London Underground map was one of the first.

I knew it! You handled the story of the London Underground brilliantly 🤩 It is a huge subject and I learned a lot of things I didn’t know and it made me want to visit the Transport Museum - I used to work around the corner from it and can you believe I never went! I’m so glad you had a good trip to London. Yes you are right Fenchurch Street isn’t an underground station and the Waterloo and City Line only runs between Waterloo and Bank - nowhere else. When I used to travel on it it was nicknamed “The Drain” - that’s what it felt like 😊. Fantastic video 🤩 Looking forward to next week.

A wonderful idea, mixing ASMR and the underground. Very soothing 😃
