- oblio 3y agoNot 100% sure I get it, I assume because it gets very hot and I guess, has a strong odor?
- AlecSchueler 3y agoIt's like an oven, there's not much more to it than that.
- baz00 3y agoIt's really hot, you get plastered to the inside of the doors when it's busy and goes through Hounslow which is where the Indian population is in London. They named it that themselves and it caught on.
- r0bbbo 3y agoI lived in Hounslow for thirty years and got the Piccadilly Line daily. I never once heard it referred to as The Tandoor.
- baz00 3y agoLived there for 20 years and heard it regularly. Did you have headphones on for 30 years on it? :)
- r0bbbo 3y agoNo. And a quick search finds possibly one mention of it from 9 years ago on Reddit. It's not widely used.

- ColonelBlimp 3y ago> and goes through Hounslow which is where the Indian population is in London. According to the 2021 Census, 656,272 Indian British live in London. Hounslow total population is 288,200, 21% of them Indian or around 60,000. British Indians are the second largest ethnic group in Hounslow (after "white"), but there are almost 600,000 more living in other parts of London. https://www.ons.gov.uk/census https://www.ons.gov.uk/census https://stats.hounslow.gov.uk/population/#/view-report/63aeddf1d7fc44b8b4dffcd868e84eac/___iaFirstFeature/G3 https://stats.hounslow.gov.uk/population/#/view-report/63aed...
