Unless you live there, you've probably wondered what the places at the end of the London Underground lines are actually like.

You hear them so often if you use the Tube every day - "this is a Central Line train to West Ruislip" - but what's West Ruislip actually like?

We've rounded up the best things to do in the places at the end of all the London Underground lines, according to TripAdvisor.

Metropolitan Line: Amersham

Amersham is in Zone 9 of the Tube and even though it's on the London Underground it's actually in Buckinghamshire.

Some of the best things to do there include the Amersham Memorial Gardens, the Amersham Fair Organ Museum, and Amersham Museum.

Metropolitan Line: Chesham

When it comes to Chesham, also in Buckinghamshire, TripAdvisor recommends the Elgiva Theatre, Chartridge Park Golf Club and the Drawingroom, a bar with all sorts of creative offerings from art to live music.

Metropolitan Line: Watford

Apart from the incredible Warner Brother Studios Harry Potter tour there's a load of other great things to do in Watford including Cassiobury Park, Watford Palace Theatre and Cheslyn House and Gardens.

Metropolitan Line/Piccadilly Line: Uxbridge

Uxbridge is the end of the line for one branch of both the Metropolitan Line and the Piccadilly Line.

You wouldn't get bored if you wanted to pay a visit as its top attractions include visiting the Battle of Britain Bunker, enjoying Fassnidge Park and walking the Hillingdon Trail.

Piccadilly Line: Heathrow

The Piccadilly line serves all five terminals of Heathrow Airport.

Of course the main reason anyone goes to Heathrow is to get a flight to a lovely holiday destination if you're lucky. Unlike the other places on the list there's not much else you can do there.

Piccadilly Line: Cockfosters

If you're into outdoors activities, there's lots to do at this end of the Piccadilly line.

From Go Ape high ropes and the Trent Park Equestrian Centre to Jacks Lake and Jungle Falls.

Central Line: West Ruislip

At the west end of the Central Line you may choose to play a round at Ruislip Golf Course or head to Ruislip Lido with the kids - which is home to London's very own beach.

Central Line: Epping

And at the other end it's Epping, which is actually in Essex.

Absolutely one of the best attractions in the area is Epping Forest.

You've also got the chance to visit the impressive Copped Hall, an 18th Century country house.

Another station that is the terminal for two London Underground lines!

Once again you've got a fair few options if you're heading there for a day trip, including the Oxygen trampoline park, Hanwell Zoo and Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery.

District Line: Wimbledon

Of course if it's a certain time of the year you can grab your strawberries and champagne and watch some tennis.

Wimbledon has lots on offer all year round, though, including Wimbledon Windmill Museum, Wimbledon Common and Cannizaro Park.

District Line: Richmond

Apart from running around trying to spot famous people like Tom Hardy and David Attenborough, there's plenty to do in Richmond.

You can stroll through the deer park and, if you walk a little way, pay a visit to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.

You've also got Ham House and Richmond Theatre which are high up on TripAdvisor recommendations.

District Line: Upminster

Thames Chase is a lovely day out destination to visit, where you can spot wildlife, go cycling or simply take in the natural surroundings.

If you're feeling active there's the Stubbers Adventure Centre and Delta Force Paintball also has some great reviews.

Morden is at the southern most tip of the Northern Line and is home to the pretty Morden Hall Park.

Deen City Farm is a popular place to go with the whole family, plus it's free!

In Edgware you've got a range of great amenities to suit different tastes.

The Royal Air Force Museum is a popular one as is Belmont Children's Farm. If you fancy a stroll around, head to Mill Hill Park.

Fired Treasures - a pottery painting and arts studio - is something a bit different you can try your hand at near Mill Hill East station.

Hendon Golf Club is also a popular destination for golf-lovers.

Victoria Line: Brixton

This end of the Victoria Line is much more central than the end of most Tube lines, giving you some different options for the best things to do.

Hootananny is a popular night out venue while Bookmongers is the place to go if you fancy getting lost in a good story.

If it's hot you can cool off at Brockwell Lido and you can learn something about Brixton's past at the Black Cultural Archives.

Victoria Line: Walthamstow Central

Walthamstow is a lively area and always developing so there's lots on offer if you fancy heading to this end of the Victoria line.

You've got God's Own Junkyard golf, the beautiful Lloyd Park and the William Morris Gallery, to name a few.

Bakerloo Line: Elephant and Castle

The Bakerloo Line, unusually, ends in Zone 1 so there's loads you can do near this Tube station.

You might like to head towards London Bridge and check out the food at Borough Market or take a trip up the Shard.

Alternatively, for your dose of culture, the Imperial War Museum and the Cinema Museum are both close by, or you could dance the night away at Ministry of Sound.

Bakerloo Line: Harrow & Wealdstone

You get a mixture of culture and activities near to this station.

There's a Virtual Reality experience and a popular indoor climbing wall.

And for all your entertainment in one place, go to Westfield for shopping, restaurants and the cinema.

Stanmore is a fairly suburban area of London, but that doesn't mean it's short of things to do.

You've got the Bentley Priory Museum as well as the beautiful Stanmore County Park.

There's no end of things to enjoy in Hammersmith from its riverside pubs and a range of markets to Fulham Palace and Ravenscourt Park.

Waterloo & City Line: Bank

Bank is of course right in the heart of the business district, but that means there needs to be plenty of entertainment for all those people post-work.

As well as a huge range of great bars and restaurants, you have attractions like the Gherkin and the Sky Gardens which you shouldn't miss.

Waterloo & City Line: Waterloo

Waterloo is right by the much-loved Southbank. You can head to the Southbank Centre to see a show or soak in whatever festival is going on, take a trip on the London Eye or visit the Tate Modern.
