TfL has also announced eight new 24-hour bus services to support the Night Tube.
London's Mayor Sadiq Khan said: “The Night Tube is going to transform our city as for the first time tube passengers will be able to travel swiftly across the Capital throughout the night.
“The safety and security of Londoners is vital, and it's why we've invested in new police officers on the Tube and it's why we're bringing in these brand new 24-hour bus services. The routes will go hand-in-hand with the Night Tube to help Londoners get to and from their front door throughout the night.
“It's another key step in helping everyone travel quickly and safely at night, and another boost to unlocking the full potential of our night time economy.”
