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

189 replies

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?

4.8% but I haven't been to London for about 20 years.

ILookAtTheFloor · 26/10/2023 08:57

Some more came to me overnight and now I'm 52,%. There's some that are right on the tip of my tongue, especially for the Wimbledon branch of the district line!

AngeloMysterioso · 26/10/2023 09:18

I got to 60 something % on my own, then DH and I collab-ed and between us we’ve got to 85.7%. But we did live in London until a few years ago.

It's not cheating to read the Mornington Crescent thread is it?

helpyhelperton · 26/10/2023 09:35

I lived and worked in London for 13 years. Left in 2006.

I'm currently at 57%.

What I'm finding bizarre is that I lived in the Docklands in various locations and frequently went out east to Beckton - I can't even remember the name of the station I got off at everyday for over a year or all the stops along the line.... I have got some random ones from places I've never been!!

EmmaEmerald · 26/10/2023 10:18

I want to know which ones I missed without looking at a map.

Me too, I don't know when to throw in the towel and ask my DH

ILookAtTheFloor · 26/10/2023 11:34

Limping on to 57%. Getting the odd 'bolt from the blue'! I'm digging deep in the memory vaults for these ones! The west part of the H&C/circle line is hugely bothering me. Not my 'endz' at all 😂

MaggieFS · 26/10/2023 11:34

I'm curious too. I think I'm going to bow out at 60% and just start filling a few in from a couple of lines as it might prompt me to rember a few more.

JaneJeffer · 26/10/2023 12:17

I'm giving up at 30.2, my brain hurts

helpyhelperton · 26/10/2023 13:53

I've just reached 60% - i'm actually starting to guess..... no idea if they're stations - just I'm using counties/countries/parks....some are paying off.

One of these was the stop
I used on and off for a year - as I was putting it in I was thinking 'this isn't one' and it was - I'm so shocked! My brain is mush.....

ILookAtTheFloor · 26/10/2023 14:38

I'm also up to 60%! Doing similar to you, trying the odd park, junction, road, all compass points 😂 random locations that I didn't think had a tube station but it's on the overground so counts! Others have randomly come back to me so I plough on, was going to call it quits at 60 but I just want to keep going now!

helpyhelperton · 26/10/2023 15:31

So, west is my weak spot. I just got about 8 stations by putting a compass point, central or junction after the same place!

NotFastButFurious · 26/10/2023 15:33

I'm on 21% but i've been playing since Thursday and now I'm just randomly guessing places I've heard of in the hope they have a tube station! I don't really know London at all.

endlessfall · 26/10/2023 15:35

I know I have a shocking memory but I can't remember the name of the stop before the stop I used to get off to visit DH and his family.
It took forever to find a combination of Heathrow that the app was happy with.

endlessfall · 26/10/2023 15:38

I also find it frustrating when I remember a train station that is just trains and therefore not allowed

JaneJeffer · 26/10/2023 15:47

@endlessfall I couldn't remember two stations I went through twice a day mon-fri for 7 years! Fucking hell that did me no good!

helpyhelperton · 26/10/2023 15:51

I've lost my map! All my progress is still there, I've tried refreshing, pressing buttons, moving the screen - it's gone! I can try new stations etc but no map!

BitOutOfPractice · 26/10/2023 17:39

I’m still shouting out random station names at odd times!

ricecakesareshit · 26/10/2023 18:23

Me too. I was falling asleep and remembered Sloane Square. Wrote it down before falling back to sleep - phone not in bedroom.

when I woke up DH had written a couple more (I was genuinely grateful - it’s a joint effort now)

MaggieFS · 26/10/2023 22:10

I've surprised myself by dredging up a couple more from the depths of my memory this evening!

NotFastButFurious · 27/10/2023 09:40

I realised last night that I was getting confused with monopoly!

MaggieFS · 27/10/2023 11:25

I've tried using what I can remember from Monopoly and disappointingly few are tube stations (do I'd already remembered them!)

CharlotteBog · 27/10/2023 11:49

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get this work on my phone or on 3 different browsers on my desktop.
