  Travelcard Zone 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The zone is also used for pricing London Underground and Docklands Light Railway single journeys, but not journeys undertaken entirely by bus or tram, for which a city-wide flat fare applies.
The boundary of zone 1 roughly corresponds to the route of the Underground's Circle Line and thus stations within the zone cover the West End, the Holborn district, Kensington, Paddington and the City of London.
In calculating fares to or from stations on the boundary of two zones, the station is assumed to be in the zone which yields the cheaper fare.

 London Underground - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first section of the London Underground (the "Metropolitan Railway") ran between Paddington and Farringdon and was the world's first urban underground passenger-carrying railway.
The Underground does not run 24 hours a day because all track maintenance must be done at night after the system closes (unlike other metro systems, such as the New York City Subway, the Underground does not have express tracks that would allow trains to be rerouted around maintenance sites).
London Underground currently serves 273 stations, which are listed, along with DLR stations, at List of London Underground stations.
