What is the Jubilee Line?

The Jubilee Line is one of London's busiest Underground lines, running from Stratford in the east to Stanmore in the north-west. It's known for its distinctive grey colour on the Tube map and serves key areas like Canary Wharf and Westminster. Its disruption, alongside the Metropolitan Line, highlights its importance in connecting many parts of the capital.
