please empty your brain below

Olympia - at least last time I was there. And any station where you can catch a National Rail train to another National Rail station without a ticket barrier.

Finsbury Park - think it's the busiest such station.

South Kenton - what a poky and horrid thing the entrances to that station are, too.

all of the DLR Stations are free to ride

Not all the DLR stations - Bank and Stratford certainly isn't.

Wimbledon - if you leave via tramlink. (I used this trick to split my NR journey in two the other day...)

Waterloo W&C is another one.

Apparently Finsbury Park don't have barriers as the tunnels in and out are too narrow for ticket barriers.

I'm gonna go with Bank. Bank definitely has no station barriers.

Let's see if this pops up in a book about tube trivia in a couple of years' time.

On the DLR, W'wich Arsenal has barriers.

Bank, if you use the MIP lift.

Please remember - today and for the rest of the week - that the DLR and Overground are not part of the London Underground.

The secondary exits of Chalfont & Latimer and Finchley Central are ungated, unlike the main entrances.

As you said exit LUL but did not specify "to the street" then the list becomes a bit more complex!

Mill Hill East, Roding Valley, Finchley Central off the south end of the footbridge, Shoreditch (as was), Finsbury Park, Sudbury Town w/b (I think), Westbourne Park (Carnival exit), Sloane Square (side exit for the flower show).

Any location where there is cross platform / within the gateline interchange to National Rail - Farringdon, Highbury, Finsbury Park, Stratford, Greenford, Ealing Broadway, Blackhorse Road, West Brompton, Wimbledon, Richmond, Amersham (on to Chiltern from the platform), Moorgate, Old Street.

People get the W&C situation confused. As the line has no intermediate stations you only need perimeter gates at one end - they exist at Bank. I will concede that there is open interchange, where once it was closed, to the DLR link corridor at Bank. Bank most certainly does have gates - at Monument, at Lombard St (Nor Line), at the W&C and at the Central Line ticket hall.

Guess who was the client for a lot of LUL ticket gate schemes plus network gating

Thinking about it Farringdon should count because it has a temporary peak hour entrance/exit to Turnmill Street during rebuilding works and that only has touch-in/touch-out readers. Mind you I think there are staff around making sure that you use them.

Woodside Park - Northbound

West Ruislip, I think, if you stay inside the gateline and down to the southbound NR platform. There is unbarriered exit to the car park.

The Turnmill Street exit at Farringdon is wide open during every rush hour. I'd put it in the "one ungated exit" category.

Fulham Broadway and Oval both have special secondary exits for event days that are completely ungated.

Putney Bridge - has an ungated Super-Peak exit for when Fulham are playing at home

...From what I've seen, they also leave the gates open (inc. the luggage gate) at Arsenal too for home matches

I haven't got on or off a train there for years, but I remember there not being gates at Goldhawk Road. Have they appeared in the meantime? If they haven't, I wonder how many people have ever been so cheap and lazy as to go from Goldhawk Road to Olympia via Edgware Road...

I've used Finsbury Park, and the Waterloo & City Line exit at Waterloo regularly. It's certainly handy not having to fumble around for your ticket (though it wasn't so good when I dropped my Travelcard without noticing, boarded the train then got stopped at Bank before realising that I didn't have my ticket on me).

You can exit Seven Sisters tube station without going through ticket barriers if you're transferring onto National Rail.

Kentish Town lets you leave via NR without touching out.

Upton Park on matchdays (West Ham).
