Jubilant Londoners rode the Night Tube for the first time as it finally launched at the weekend.

More than 100,000 people used the 24-hour service, which London Mayor Sadiq Khan hailed an "exciting new chapter" for the capital.

Mr Khan, who was on board the first Victoria line service in the early hours of Saturday morning, said you could feel "the buzz" and excitement as he met passengers.

Oxford Circus was one of the busiest stations, with 6,500 people tapping in, while 4,250 people tapped out at Stratford station, according to figures released by TfL.

Around 100 British Transport Police (BTP) officers are patrolling the network, which operates through the night on Fridays and Saturdays.

Superintendent Chris Horton, the officer responsible for policing the Underground, insisted there was "no reason" why passengers would not be as safe as during the day.

He said the force would focus on "being visible" and ensuring it was "able to intervene in places that are likely to see significant issues".

A spokeswoman for the force said it had been called to just four incidents on the first run of the Night Tube, which was "in line with what we would expect to see on a Friday night".

"At this stage we are not aware of any crimes being committed," she added.

All-night services also started on parts of the Central line, where previously some passengers had to get their last train before midnight, while the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines will follow in the autumn.

The driver of the first train said the service was "great for London" and insisted he would be able to adjust to working through the night.

A recent study by business membership organisation London First estimated the Night Tube could be worth £77 million each year to the capital's economy by 2029.
