Barcelona manages to keep its metro service running way more hours than London, and the tickets are a fraction of the price.

Barcelona has a population of about 1.6million. London has a population of about 8.5 million.

The London underground does have some problems - confusing fare structure; confusing Oyster cards; high levels of fake coins in the ticket machines; old tunnels and trains; very busy at some times, etc.

But it does pretty well considering.

Barcelona doesn't have to support the number of people that the London underground does.
