Safety on the London Underground Safety on the London Underground This article is primarily concerned with accidents on the London Underground network, which carries around a billion passengers a year.

There are several safety warnings given to passengers, such as the traditional 'mind the gap' announcement and the regular announcements for passengers to keep behind the yellow line. Relatively few accidents are caused by overcrowding on the platforms, and staff monitor platforms and passageways at busy times preventing people entering the system if they become overcrowded. Most fatalities on the network are suicides.
