WSS - Blackfriars tube is closed until late 2011 (i.e. 2014).

Linky.

It's easy. Tube from Blackfriars to Monument. Walk over London Bridge.
Even party shoes should cope with that

The tube isn't that bad on a Saturday. If she's getting the train then get the midland mainline (faster and doesn't stop everywhere). If she's coming back late then get a taxi to st P

I don't know what's happened as crapital first connect (or whatever they call themselves these days) used to go direct.

100% cert

SY02 is going to a hen party in London Bridge. All the trains from Luton require at least one change. I was thinking about sending her to blackfriars with directions to walk on foot.

The last thing I want is her on the underground with the great unwashed on a Saturday. Taxi from S/Pancras is of course an option.

WTF can you not get a connection straight through any more?

Then she could just get the jube from St Pancras direcly and save a change on the thameslink as well.

I would be more concerned about ne'er do wells in the bars & clubs cracking on to her than riding on the tube.

I wouldn't advise my other half to walk from Blackfriars to London Bridge instead of getting the northern line from st Pancras / Euston unless I was hoping to remain celibate for a week or two. Especially if she is going to a party and likely to be wearing party shoes.

The underground is fine - I've got home on the beer scooter many times. Stop worrying.
