London Underground Advertising 

London Underground Advertising (also known as Tube Advertising) is a popular form of outdoor advertising and is used by companies wishing to promote their products or services to a large audience in the capital.

Advertising on London Underground is not only used by London based companies, but by national and international brands looking for great exposure and recognition by a diverse and cultural audience.

Although advertising on the London Underground is relatively expensive when compared to standard billboard advertising, it offers amazing reach and brilliant results time after time, which is the reason it is so popular and such a sought after outdoor advertising medium.

With the underground network used by millions of commuters, residents and visitors every day (often stood waiting to catch tubes or travelling up and down escalators) there are many options available when looking to promote to this captive, receptive and often affluent audience.

• Escalator Panels - sometimes known as LEPS. There are digital and paper versions to choose from depending on the station. 
• Tunnel Advertising - 4 sheets, 6 sheets, 12 sheets posters, which sit on tunnel walls and popular and have high-impact. 
• Cove Advertising - the tube adverts you see above the seats inside the tube carriages. 
• Ticket Hall Advertising - these are the posters you see in the ticket halls and when entering the station, also in walk-ways and corridors. 
• Barrier Advertising and Adagte advertising - there are options to brand and advertise on the ticket gates (sometimes known as ticket gate advertising), these are great as your potential customers have no way of avoiding these ads and effectively need to walk through them.

Underground Advertising Prices 

“How much does it cost to advertise on London underground” or "how much is advertising on the tube", is not as simple a question as it may seem. There isn't a tube ads rate card as such, as many variables can affect the options available. 

Underground advertising costs vary depending broadly upon:

1. The brand and type of ad you choose - whether you LEP, tunnel ads, cove ads etc. 
2. The size of the ad - the physical size of the poster. 
3. Whether the ad is digital or non-electronic - with printing costs needed to be factored in, the choice of digital and non-digital is important to consider. 
4. The time of the year  - Christmas and summertime are generally popular as the capital is packed with tourists spending money.
5. The length of your campaign - the longer an underground advertising campaign runs, the more expensive it'll be. Most campaigns run for a minimum of 2 weeks but generally, longer campaigns are recommended so that impact is stronger. 

As a reference. advertising on London underground is one of the more expensive Out of Home marketing options in the UK and often larger budgets are required to have an impact.  A typical spend on an Underground Advertising campaign is around £15k

Therefore, although the outlay can be large (when compared to other forms of outdoor advertising) the returns on tube advertising can be very impressive, so it is about balancing up the cost against potential return on investment.
