The City & South London Railway was the first electric Tube railway in the world, opening in 1890 and running from Stockwell to King William Street.
The Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway opened in 1907, significantly expanding London's underground network and illustrating the city's transportation growth.
Integration of the railways started in 1922, connecting routes and leading to the creation of the Northern line by 1937, paving the way for modern services.
While the ambitious Northern Heights extension project was never realized, significant developments like the East Finchley station opened in 1939 helped to shape future expansions.
