Man rates every London Underground station in viral TikToks

Maybe you have and you gave it a top score for its cleanliness and bold architecture, or maybe you were walking through a much more crowded station and thought ‘Nah needs some improvement’ and gave it a low score.

Well whether you have or haven’t, one man is doing just that by rating every single tube station in London.

Yes, every single one. 

Man rates every London Underground Station

With 272 Tube stations to visit, it’s not an easy task, with many Londoners likely not even visiting every single station in their lifetime.

But that hasn’t stopped TikTok creator @vaguely_mundane (Tom) who has since dedicated his content to the transport system.

@vaguely.mundane ???? It’s my 50th tube station review!! gotta do a big one for the milestone so welcome to Stratford, the east London megahub connecting to the Overground, DLR, Elizabeth Line, National Rail, a bus station or two… Here I’m looking primarily at the Underground bit – but how will I rank it? #london #tube #tierlist #stratford #jubileeline #centralline #exploring ♬ original sound – Vaguely Mundane (Tom)

Gaining over 10k followers and 180k likes, the TikTok user has gotten through nearly 70 (at the time of writing) of London’s tube stations and plans to finish the hefty list.

Tom has visited stations from Stratford, Holborn, Kilburn Park, Gunnersbury and many more. 

@vaguely.mundane Is this a ‘Worst station’ contender? Some news sites seem to think so. Good job I’m here to do a proper inspection… #london #tube#tierlist #exploring #gunnersbury ♬ original sound – Tom – Vaguely Mundane (Tom)

Visiting one of the busiest London Underground stations, Stratford, Tom gives it mixed marks, with a positive check for its large concourse and 3D sign text but a negative for its somewhat confusing design, giving it an overall B grade. 

Also visiting and rating Kilburn Park, the TikTok creator was pleasantly surprised by this historical station, with its red tiles, ‘tiny parks’, impressive windows, “lovely” skylight and easy platform access giving the top tier of ‘S’.

Tom also visited Gunersbury station which has previously been called the worst London Underground station, but willing to go in with an open mind, the TikToker does try to ignore the reports. 

However, when he arrives at the station it doesn’t take long for a negative, giving it a markdown for its ‘hole in the wall’ feel, the gates design also gives it a negative, seeing a D grade awarded.

Would you rate every single London underground station?
