"The London Underground ..... use a simple top contact system without a cover"

And so does the very extensive national rail system to the south of London (formerly Southern Railway, then Southern Region of British Rail), though this system doesn't have the fourth rail. The 'DC lines' out of London Euston, including parts of the North London Line, do as well (other parts of the NLL have catenary).

The Docklands Light Railway (new since the 1980s) uses under-running third rail, though.
