About London Tramlink
London Tramlink (officially branded "London Trams") is the only modern tram network operating in London. It opened on 10 May 2000 to serve south London from a central hub in Croydon, with four routes spanning 28 km of track and 39 stops between Elmers End, Wimbledon, Beckenham Junction and New Addington.
All four routes converge at Sandilands junction in central Croydon, providing combined headways as low as 3–5 minutes during peak hours. The fleet of 35 Bombardier CR4000 and Stadler Variobahn trams carries approximately 80,000 passengers every weekday.
Tramlink is fully integrated into TfL fares: a single flat tram fare (£1.75 with Oyster or contactless as of 2026) applies regardless of distance, and the Hopper fare allows free transfers to a bus within 60 minutes of tapping in.
For more London transport coverage see the light rail hub, Docklands Light Railway, London Underground and London Overground.
