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 Canary Wharf & Docklands, that means the Jubilee line at Canary Wharf. 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.
