You've been listening to Bob Crowe. Tube is 100% fail safe since a bit after Moorgate.

I did actually see Bob Crowe on the tube around a month ago. Southbound victoria line at Highbury & Islington.
Needlessly to say I didn't have the bottle to call him a c**t like I should have.

I mostly walk these days*, it's surprising how small London is.

*I do get the tube back to my digs of an evening, admittedly...

I used to walk from Bank to Liverpool Street each day. One day "Reclaim the Streets" had a demo, which closed Bank station. So on that day I had to get the tube.

...

London (both the central Zone 1 and also generally) is quite large.
Yes there are stations that are in reality close to each other eg Bank and Liverpool st., or Bayswater and Paddington.
But try walking in Zone 1 from Liverpool St to Victoria. Paddington to London Bridge. Notting Hill to St Pancras. Or Pimlico to Euston.

cojak has surprisingly long legs and a good stride. makes the distances seem shorter.

Stop being pedantic

I always walk round London if I am there. It's so easy to walk around. The other day I picked up some flight tickets from Maida Vale and walked to Victoria very easily. Then went to London Bridge for Lunch, back through the city to do some shopping, then on to Covent Garden for dinner and a few drinks, before firing back to Victoria for the train home.

Ever since those nutters blew the tulip out of central london, I always walk. Had a friend injured in the bus attack, and was over on the South Bank when it happened (with my young daughter on a day out), and it put the wind up me, and ended up persuading me to move away from London altogether.
