This is a list of busiest London Underground stations for the 2021 calendar year. The dataset records patterns of mobility during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, with significantly reduced levels of mobility when compared with the 2019 data. Extended periods of significantly reduced commuting and other travel caused many major central London stations to drop in the ranking during 2020 and for larger suburban stations to replace them. With pandemic restrictions eliminated during the year, this was reversed during 2021.
