6 • London is a six-letter word.
• Despite wiping out most of the City's buildings, it is traditionally believed that only six people died in the 1666 Great Fire of London (although it was probably rather more than that).
• Greater London is divided up into six travelcard zones, of which Zone 2 has the most stations.
• All of London's underground lines run north of the Thames, but only six run south.
• Six tube lines interchange at King's Cross St Pancras - more than at any other station.
• Bus route 6 runs from Aldwych to Kensal Rise.
