The subway network began launching WiFi on Thursday, rolling out the service to a handful of stations this week as part of a build-up before the Olympics. The games are set for July 27 to Aug. 12.
By the end of the year, about 120 Tube stations will be connected, including some which are very deep underground.
The service will be free for the summer, but users will have to register.
Users can get online throughout connected London Underground stations, such as on platforms and in ticket halls. The WiFi will work on trains but not in tunnels.
The service is part of a multi-billion pound (multi-billion dollar) effort to upgrade the capital’s aging subway network.
Now according to rav vozners ruling its not allowed to enter the London subways.

We cant ride anymore with the train.
Keep dreaming NYC. When we reach Mars maybe then the MTA will be ready to do something similar.
The London underground is efficient and clean! much better system then NYC subway. The only disadvantage is there is no express trains.
Lovely. But do they not realize that the undergrounds r going to be mobbed. Sorry there is no room on the train kindly stay clear of the closing doors. How on earth can we mover around with the apples and androids?
