Aug-night-tube
London started its move to becoming a 24 hour city in August with the start of the Night Tube on the Central and Victoria lines on Fridays and Saturdays.
Overall, the industry welcomed the move, with members of businesses operating around the clock, or late at night, such as Simon Prideaux of VQ restaurant seeing it as a boon for the night-time economy. Since then the Mayor of London has appointed his first Night Tsar to champion more of the night-time economy.
Hospitality industry welcomes Night Tube, despite staff concerns
