Corridors & Walkways
Advertising in London Underground corridors is like placing your brand in a public gallery — long stretches of walls where your message becomes the main attraction as people move past. These large displays are placed in busy walkways, ensuring your campaign stands out to everyone on the move.
With around 5 million journeys made daily across the Tube, London Overground, DLR, Tramlink, Victoria Coach Station and wider public transport, your brand gets seen by a huge mix of people—commuters, students, tourists and Londoners. These spaces are perfect for reaching an audience that is alert, outgoing and often looking for something to catch their attention while they travel.
From bold poster sites to full-motion digital screens that wrap entire walkways, there are many creative options available. At The Ark Media, we can help you choose the right format to suit your goals and audience. Corridor and walkway advertising is also cost-effective. It works well for almost any type of campaign—whether you’re a college looking to attract new students, a retailer promoting an offer, or a tourism board sharing events and destinations. If you want your message to stand out in one of the busiest transport networks in the world, corridor and walkway advertising is one of the most effective choices you can make.
Why Corridor Advertising ?
With over 1.5 billion journeys every year, the London Underground is one of the most powerful advertising platforms in the world. Corridors and walkways put your brand front and centre, reaching commuters, students, tourists, and Londoners as they move through the city.
Every week, your campaign can be seen by 780,000 young adults (ages 15–24) and 1.7 million parents—a highly engaged audience that’s hard to reach anywhere else. Corridor advertising stands out because passengers have few distractions. 60% of Tube travellers notice new ads, giving your message a level of visibility few other channels can match.
Benefits Of Corridor Advertising
Captive moments: People pause in corridors, on stairs, or at escalators, giving adverts a chance to grab attention.
Guiding attention: Ads can subtly lead people’s movement while keeping the brand visible.
Daily repetition: Regular commuters see the same ads every day, which helps them remember the brand.
Interactive potential: Corridors can host creative or tech-based adverts, like motion displays or AR experiences.
