The Northern Line has tended to run an OK service on strike days but it
will be busy at either Charing Cross, Waterloo or London Bridge.

TfL have already announced that Charing Cross tube station will be
closed throughout the whole of Monday. They expect all lines except the
Circle to be running in Zone 1, so changing to the Northern at Waterloo
East might be an option, but the crowds will be horrendous and TfL's
plans could change (even though I agree that past experience suggests
that some sort of service will be maintained on the Northern).

Good point re CX Tube station closure! That info is contained in this
advice document (currently dated 6am 26 Nov):

Worth noting that Embankment station will be open however - though
again crowds will be horrendous there too.


I basically concur with the advice to head for Charing Cross and then
assess options from there.

Me too. If the buses are impossible and walking is not an option,
there's always the option of a taxi - on strike days, it's common for
people in the taxi queue to ask if anyone wants to share a cab to a
major destination such as Euston.

Also, under 'Taxis'...

Between 06:30 and 10:30 on Monday 29 November 2010 taxi drivers will
be operating a marshalled taxi service for central London destinations
at five major London rail termini - Waterloo, Liverpool St, King's
Cross, Charing Cross, and Marylebone.

....which might make the prospect of catching a cab in the midst of the
chaos a bit less daunting!
