London's six Overground lines have been rebranded with new names and colors to reflect the neighborhoods they serve and make the system easier to navigate. Each line is named after a landmark or theme associated with its route, celebrating the city's diverse communities and histories.
The capital’s Overground routes have been rebranded to reflect the distinct flavours of neighbourhoods they cross – as these station to station strolls reveal. In a major rebrand, London ’s six (previously all orange) Overground lines have been given new names and new colours to reflect the identity of the neighbourhoods they run through (and make the system easier to navigate). It’s also a way to celebrate the capital’s diverse communities and histories.
For those wishing to explore further, I have walked six routes using stations on each line which take in dozens of landmarks with connections to the themes, from gardens and galleries to historic houses and monuments.

Mildmay honours both the NHS and London’s LGBTQ+ histories.

If you didn’t have pizza in the Curve Garden, the(free) with one of the capital’s best museum shops and an excellent selection of books on Queer London. Near 18th-century Shoreditch church is the hospital that gives the line its name. Calvert Avenue leads past the church tois bursting with blooms on Sunday and with charm every day. Carry on up Goldsmiths Row to Broadway Market with trendy cafes and rainbow road crossings. Finally, through London Fields to Hackney Museum, another champion of London’s. From here, it’s a short walk past the art deco town hall and palm-treed gardens to Hackney Central statio
