Late at night
The Night Tube runs through the night on Friday and Saturday nights on the Central, Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria lines.1 Near Battersea & Nine Elms, that means the Northern line at Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms and the Victoria line at Vauxhall. Not every branch or station on those lines is open all night, so check the TfL Night Tube map before you rely on it. On other nights, and on lines without a night service, the last trains run around midnight and night buses take over.
