It's all well and good until you wake up, and you're in Epping!

Doesn’t matter where you live. Epping sounds far as shit.

I did it on the circle line once. Woke up at Hammersmith. Luckily though I was going to Paddington, so it wasn't the worst trip back. Epping, on the other hand...

Did this on a bus once. My college roommate and I went to London for spring break. We randomly got on the bus to see what the suburbs were like. We only planned on staying on for an hour or so, but fell asleep and 3 hours later ended up at the end of the line in who knows where.

Thankfully there was one last bus that was headed back to Central London, or we would have been screwed. Of course it was express, so it only took 45 mins to get back.

Pretty sure they did us a favor.

Epping sounds like the kind of town people don't even live in on purpose. They just missed their stop and was so embarrassed that they moved there rather than admit their mistake.

Breaks up more families than war and infidelity combined!
