You weren't trying to call me, but...

Huh, I just got a "wrong number" text from someone who wanted to know what station to go to for the Rainforest Cafe. So I texted them back to say Piccadilly Circus. Although I suppose I should probably have said it's equidistant between Piccadilly Circus & Leicester Square, take your pick.

Baratron London Transport Services. Ask me how to get anywhere, I'll find you a route...

Having done it many times in a variety of ways, I can say that Vauxhall (leap on 87 bus if one is visible, otherwise walk) to Waterloo platforms 1-6, then Waterloo East plat C to London Bridge, tends to be faster than walking all the way down to the Jubilee line at Waterloo, but I doubt there's much in it. The Jub and SouthEast Trains (not Southern) seem much of a muchness.

Pimlico via Green Pk to London Bridge is about the same but more crowded - I always follow 'Way Out' at GP and then take the escalators down, but the Jubilee is twice as far as the other two lines. I'd only do this if it were freezing, to avoid hanging about on NR platforms.

A colleague prefers walking/bussing to Westminster and then the Jubilee (or D/C if the J is screwed), but I find that's longer. The tube routes are recommended by TfL, probably because they don't run the trains.

The fastest route if timed perfectly would be boat from Millbank to London Bridge, but that costs extra and I've always been interrupted and missed the boat.
