Twelve Stops and Home is the debut album by The Feeling, released on June 5, 2006.

The album's title refers to the twelve stops on the Piccadilly Line of the London Underground from Leicester Square to Bounds Green. Lead singer Dan Gillespie Sells grew up in Bounds Green and lived a short walk from the tube station.

It received a 5 star review from The Observer but garnered a 4/10 from music magazine NME.

There was a period in July 2007 when the album was being sold on Australia's iTunes for only $2.99. This mistake has since been fixed.
