Transport for London (TfL) has released a map of night time Tube services in advance of their roll out from 12 September this year.
Round-the-clock services will operate on Fridays and Saturdays on five lines: the Jubilee, Victoria, and most of the Central, Northern and Piccadilly.
TfL estimate the move will support almost 2,000 permanent jobs and boost the economy by £360m. It has also revealed step-free accessibility at the night tube stations will be the same as during the day service and there will be an enhanced policing presence during the overnight services.
A further expansion of night time services to parts of the Metropolitan, Circle, District, and Hammersmith and City lines will take place once modernisation programmes are complete, TfL said. The 24-hour services could operate on parts of the London Overground by 2017 and the Docklands Light Railway by 2021.
To mark the occasion TfL is launching 'Firsts for the Tube' - a series of events in and around the network such as Free the Night' a photographic exhibition at the iconic Westminster station. There will also be an Underground cinema experience, pop-up music, dance and theatre performances.
