You'll have to tell LU and TfL, who routinely call the whole system the
Tube. And in this context, where we're talking only about the deep Tube
lines, it's perfectly correct to call it the Tube.


So why do all the roundel signs say Underground..? That's what it's been
known as my whole life and I was born in London even though I don't live
there any more.

Sorry, to me it always has been and always will be the Underground.

That's the official historic name, but it's not what Londoners call it.
Only someone who doesn't know London would call it that.

It's not what TfL calls it. Try looking for the word 'Underground' in:
https://tfl.gov.uk

And if you want an official Underground map, guess what it's long been
called:

I don't recall that ordinary Londoners have called it the Underground for
at least a century; the Tube name started to catch on from 1900 with the
CLR, otherwise known as the 'Tuppenny Tube':
