West Brompton

Actually you could walk the whole thing very pleasantly, via Bloomsbury, Marylebone, Mayfair, stop for a picnic in Hyde Park, then down Sloane Street through Chelsea and finish with a riverside stroll. 2.5 hours tops.

probably easier to just get a taxi, you are a contractor after all.

Book a Virgin* bike.

Unless you're going in the middle of the night going from KingsX to West Brompton in a taxi will probably take longer than going from Newcastle to KingsX**





* you don't have to be a virgin to use them.
** slight exaggeration.

What, no pub stops? Shame on you.

[thunderlizard]

Au contrere. You could do it in an hour and a quarter flat out. I just doubled it for appropriate pub, cafe, shopping and picnic stops.

I agree with the others and would suggest that you get the tube to Earls Court and walk from there.

Be careful when you leave Earls Court station though because there are two separate exits, one on the east side and one on the west side. This can be very confusing if you are a bit pissed and don't know the area well.

Taxi? Please, let's keep up some contracting standards around here.

What carp!

It's much simpler to get the Piccadilly line straight from Kings Cross to Earls Court, and then either walk 100 yards up Warwick Road or get the District line to West Brompton, which is the next stop from Earls Court.

take the piccaddilly line to earls court, it's only a short walk from there.

Piccadilly line out west.
Possibly just get off at Earls Court then walk; or change for District Line.

So in summary...I'm to get the Circle line to Paddington?

Thanks guys. Thetrainline has turned into a right pile of sh*te of late.

No. Use the Piccadilly line. It will be quicker.

In the centre of London the circle and the district lines have lots of stations not very far apart on them. For that reason the journeys on them take too long.
