The most amazing point in London is that most of the infrastructure are developed in 19th century. The railway network is not an exception: most of the urban railways were opened in 19th century, and of course it was the most advanced network at that time. In 20th century, Tube lines are developed well, but the development of regional railways has piled up. Still, it is wonderful to see many trains come and go in big terminals, such as London Bridge or Clapton Junction. On the other hand, Underground network has continuously developed to be the most developed network in the world.
