Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines.


Not the Met.


According to TfL:

"The Metropolitan line runs from Aldgate to Amersham, with branches to
Chesham, Uxbridge and Watford covering 66.7km (41.5 miles)."

Or are you being pedantic about the Baker St-Paddington bit?


Yes. That section now forms part of the Circle and Hammersmith & City
Lines, and parts of that section now form part of the District and
Metropolitan Lines.
