The 50 richest stations of the London Tube
London Underground stations ranked by the mean annual household income of the MSOA they sit in.
Where the money is on the London network
Every station the survey could price, coloured by the income around it, over the city's own streets.
Distribution across the 267 stations the survey could price.
Colour runs on rank, not on the raw figure, so the ramp is spent evenly across the network. The wash under the lines spreads that colour between neighbouring stations, so the pattern reads at a glance. Dot size is annual ridership. Hover a station for its numbers. Zoom in for the dense middle of the network: pinch, use the +/- buttons, or double-click, then drag to pan.

The figure shown is the mean total annual household income of the Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) containing the station, from the ONS small-area model-based income estimates for the financial year ending March 2023 (latest release, published December 2025). It is a mean, not a median, because the ONS model produces mean estimates at this geography. It reflects residents of the surrounding neighbourhood, not Tube riders. The top of the ranking is dominated by Kensington, Chelsea, Westminster and the prosperous western suburbs along the District and Metropolitan lines.
