London Serviced Apartments By Overground Line

The London Overground is a suburban rail network serving Greater London and nearby areas, operated by Transport for London (TfL). Introduced in 2007, it has become a vital part of the city's transport system, linking outer boroughs with key interchange stations. Unlike the Underground, it primarily runs above ground and provides essential connections between areas that lack direct Tube services.

In November 2024, TfL introduced new branding for the Overground, dividing it into six named lines to make navigation easier. Each line has been given an identity reflecting London’s rich heritage. The Lioness Line, running between Euston and Watford Junction, takes its name from the England women's football team, celebrating their historic success and contribution to sport. The Mildmay Line, which connects Richmond, Clapham Junction, and Stratford, honours the Mildmay Mission Hospital in Shoreditch, a pioneering centre for HIV care.

Meanwhile, the Windrush Line runs through areas with significant Caribbean communities, including Clapham Junction, New Cross, and Crystal Palace, and is named in recognition of the Windrush Generation’s lasting impact on London. The Weaver Line, linking Liverpool Street with Enfield Town, Cheshunt, and Chingford, acknowledges the textile industry that shaped parts of East London. The Suffragette Line, which stretches from Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside, pays tribute to the women’s suffrage movement, particularly its deep connections to East London. Finally, the Liberty Line, serving the short Romford to Upminster route, references the historic liberty of Havering, a former independent administrative area.

This rebranding aligns the Overground with the familiar colour-coded approach of the Tube while celebrating London’s cultural and historical identity. The new names aim to make the network easier to navigate while giving each route a distinctive character that reflects the communities it serves.
