Born On A Cusp

They say you find love in the most unexpected places. For Londoners, it could be the tube.

Half of residents of the British capital quizzed in an online poll said they had dated someone they had met for the first time on the city’s underground railway system, affectionately called the ‘tube.’

A third of respondents said they were more likely to be attracted to someone they have spotted on the Underground than in usual hangout places like pubs.

Classic pick-up lines, according to the respondents, include “Going my way?” and “I’ve forgotten where my stop is, can you tell me where you get off?”

I found love somewhere else, but I have very fond memories of the tube. It rightfully deserves to be iconic of London.
