Epping to West Ruislip | Central Line Full Ride

Experience the full Central Line journey from Epping to West Ruislip on the London Underground, filmed just after sunrise on an overcast morning. This uncut 8K 360 video captures every station and scene across London’s longest tube line — from open countryside in Essex to deep tunnels under the capital, all filmed in real time and reframed to 4K 16:9 for a true driver’s-eye experience.

Lessons Learned from This Trip

Filming in low natural light is never ideal — I’ve learned that starting runs later in the morning, once there’s full daylight, delivers far better results.
I also noticed that the air vents on these older Central line trains produce too much airflow across the mic, dulling the overall sound quality. I’ll be investing in a separate external microphone to improve future audio.
Finally, my Manfrotto tabletop tripod performed brilliantly — solid, stable, and completely removed the need to hold the camera during filming.
