Is there somewhere online I can find out which tube stations are
underground and which are above ground?

Underground sections of deep tube lines (all sections are inclusive,
i.e. named stations are underground):

Bakerloo: Elephant to Kilburn Park
Central: Mile End to Shepherds Bush, also Wanstead to Gants Hill
Jubilee: Swiss Cottage to North Greenwich
Northern: South Wimbledon (via Bank or Charing Cross) to Highgate or
Hampstead
Piccadilly: Earls Court to Bounds Green, also Southgate, also Hatton
Cross to Hatton Cross via Heathrow. Whether Hounslow West is below
ground is debatable.
Victoria: all
Waterloo & City: both stations are in tunnel.

There are tunnels with no station in them between the following
open-air stations: between Stratford and Leyton, and between Hendon
Central and Colindale.

Between Hounslow West and Hatton Cross the trains are above ground
briefly to pass over the River Crane.

I'll let someone else do the 5 subsurface lines...


They are far more subjective, depending on what constitutes 'above' or
'below'.

Several stations have platforms below street level, but a ceiling above
street level - e.g. Earls Court. Should the height of the roof, and whether
or not the cut is open make a difference? If so, then several stations are
by definition part underground, part overground, which is an unhappy
contradiction.

Additionally several stations were built in open cutting, but have since
been built upon - does this act change their status from 'above' to 'below'?

And if the presence of a building above defines a station as 'below', does
this mean that Canary Wharf DLR is underground?
