The recent London Tube strikes in 2025 lasted for a total of five consecutive days, from Sunday, September 7, through to the morning of Friday, September 12. The strikes caused severe disruption across all Underground lines, with additional impact on the DLR on certain days. Tube services fully resumed after 8:00 AM BST on the last day, September 12. The strikes involved different groups of workers walking out on different days within this period. The main driver for the strikes was the demand for a reduction in the workweek from 35 hours to 32 hours among the RMT union members. While the strikes officially ended after these five days, residual effects on service continued into the following days as operations normalized.
