Tottenham Court Road station

Then, wombling free...

I left the overground to return to Notting Hill Gate via the underground, the black-colored northern line south from Hampstead to Tottenham Court Road, where I changed for the red central line west to Notting Hill Gate.

My day out full of ups and downs, physical and emotional, gifted me a rule that has saved me time, stress, and unnecessary backtracking ever since.

The tube map is not a map of London.

Yeah.

So I actually went I've been to London and I went to Tottenham Court Road, the tube station where the businessman gets ripped apart just because I wanted to go there and be like, I'm at the place.

How was it when you went?

I mean, it was a tube station in the middle of the day.

This first one's from Saris.

Five stars.

Average Tottenham Court Road tube station experience.

Yeah.

The second location is his burial place, St. Giles in the Fields, that magnificent old church just off Charing Cross Road.

Think of it as Tottenham Court Road Station's church.

It's right there, just a short walk away.

And that's where Luke Hansard was buried.

So I saw Gillian Anderson in real life through the window of a pub, which was cool.

I went to get the train, and by the time I got to the train station, Tottenham Court Road, because the Elizabeth line is the train line that runs from Heathrow into London Central, what they just affectionately call town.

So the train from Heathrow to town is usually the Elizabeth line.

You can get the Heathrow Express as well, but I don't know that that's that popular.

Anyway, so I get the Elizabeth line.

By the time I get back to the train station, it's 11.30pm. it's a friday night in london the last train from tottenham court road to heathrow is at 11 25 i've missed it all of these trains are only going to paddington which is two stops away so i think oh my god what am i going to do now well paddington might give me more options so i get the tube to paddington and i get off then i'll look at what options there are from paddington and there's not really anything so i go and ask one of the um conductor dudes on the platform and he said oh what you want to do is get the train to hayes and harlington which is still a few miles away from Heathrow, but from there you can get a bus to Heathrow.

So I get on the tube to Hayes and Harlington.

And while we're on the way, it's going to be 30 minutes.

Now, at 8 o'clock yesterday evening, a short bus journey was made that marked a long-term change to one of the most important shopping streets in the world.

Oxford Street has been pedestrianised and at 1944, the 390 to Tottenham Court Road, which for anybody who cares to listen is my favourite bus in London, was the last bus to travel the full distance before the street was closed permanently

to traffic.

Well, this London project has been decades in the making and in a moment we'll be live in Oxford Street.

Because it kind of looked like it was like around the back of...

Tottenham Court Road, like where the Astoria was or something like that.

I thought like round the back of a railway station, sort of the ones that run up alongside railway stations.

That's what it looked like to me.

There's another slightly different.

This is northbound on Tottenham Court Road Station in London.
