Non-London People: How did you do on the London metro memory game?

189 replies

Limth · 24/10/2023 16:37

If you haven't heard of it, it's here

I've never lived in London and haven't been there for over a decade. I got 25.7% which I was pretty happy with.

I've now set myself the challenge to better my score just a little bit each day.

London Tube Memory Game

How many of the London Tube stations can you name from memory?

DH and I - combined score was 22% 😂

RestingPlace · 24/10/2023 17:01

32.4%, which I was quite pleased with, as I haven't lived in London since 2012.

icebearforpresident · 24/10/2023 17:03

8.6% 😆

I’ve not been to London since 2018 but even then I thought I would do slightly better than than! I’m struggling to even remember some of the really touristy places now

TeenDivided · 24/10/2023 17:03

I'm taking a break for inspiration but I'm on 11% so far.
I should be able to get more but haven't played The London Game in a while Smile

BitofaStramash · 24/10/2023 17:10

I got 15% before it got really hard and I got bored

BarbaraofSeville · 24/10/2023 17:26

You did better than I did, I got bored at around 3% and it apparently didn't recognise King's Cross, with or without the hyphen.

Icedlatteplease · 24/10/2023 17:29

Gah!!! I got to 25% before I accidentally closed the page

It's King's Cross St Pancras. Took me endless variations to crack it!

The station is King's Cross St pancras

LittleLegsKeepGoing · 24/10/2023 17:32

Got to 12% - not bad considering I haven't been to London for at least 15 years...and only as a tourist.

WhatWouldHopperDo · 24/10/2023 17:33

ooh fun - I'm up to 26.4 but I'd say about 5% of those were cheating because I knew where they were but couldn't remember the names!! I was surprised how many I know on the DLR.

Brefugee · 24/10/2023 17:38

I'm useless at stuff like this. But i got 21% which isn't bad for someone who barely goes up to The Smoke

exLtEveDallas · 24/10/2023 17:46

5.9%
I've been to London once in my life about 15 years ago!

Ah - I gave up on endless iterations of St Pancras. I didn't realise they were considered the same station.

MurielThrockmorton · 24/10/2023 17:51

Ooh good game! I'm on 12% at the moment and I think I can double it at least. Got all of Victoria Line straight off. I did live in London but 20 years ago and I cycled most places! I have to pop out, but I think this is my evening entertainment sorted out!

The tube station is 'Kings Cross St Pancras', the railway stations are separate.

botheredand · 24/10/2023 18:08

16% never been to London!

TeenDivided · 24/10/2023 18:11

Currently on 19.8%, might get few more.

devildeepbluesea · 24/10/2023 18:12

I’m up to 26.4%, just going to clear my brain and then go back!

AutumnCrow · 24/10/2023 18:15

Put an hour in for 31%. brought back many happy memories of visiting friends and working there!

LollipopViolet · 24/10/2023 18:24

31% so far. Have been to London 4 times this year but previously hadn't visited for years! I am actually amazed!

SleepyMathematician · 24/10/2023 18:32

I’m really enjoying this - I’m on 18% so far but I’m in London on the tube every week so really should do better! Taking a break to let my brain mull it over. I haven’t got some of the obvious ones, I know, and yet far more obscure ones suddenly come to me.
DD used to live in Woolwich and I knew the DLR route to there by heart. It’s pitiful how many I’ve forgotten.

Woollyjumpersandtomatosoupweather · 24/10/2023 18:35

33% - and need a break as run out of ideas. Might see if there's a London tube map jigsaw puzzle to keep the DC busy this week!

slavetothekittens · 24/10/2023 18:39

Am on 13.4% at present, haven't been to London for years so am trying to remember what I can and mentally work my way round a Monopoly board!

Oooh, this sounds fun!!

I'm making an effort to look at the tube map for a good long while every day to try and burn station names into my brain.
