Victoria Line Boarding in London  

The Victoria line is a light blue colored underground line on the London Underground network. It runs between Brixton in south London and Walthamstow Central in the north-east, via the West End. It is one of the only two lines on the network to run completely underground, with the other being the Waterloo & City line.

It was designed to reduce congestion on other lines, particularly the Piccadilly line and the Charing Cross branch of the Northern line. The first section, from Walthamstow Central to Highbury & Islington, opened in September 1968 and an extension to Warren Street followed in December. The line was completed to Victoria station in March 1969 and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II who rode a train from Green Park to Victoria. The southern extension to Brixton opened in 1971, and Pimlico station was added in 1972. [Image of Queen Elizabeth II riding Victoria Line train] * **Stations:** The Victoria line has 16 stations.
