a notorious schlep, and the Vic is less than reliable at the mo.

Leicester Square can be a horrible interchange if you choose the wrong
passageway.

The easiest way to do Vic to Picc at Green Park is via the ticket hall -
probably best to avoid peak times though! I will get shot for saying it
but I did this when I was returning from Heathrow in early Jan. I had
guessed from some data I'd scribbled down that I could just catch the
first Vic at Green Park rather than have a 20 min wait at Kings Cross. I
simply wheeled my luggage to the up Picc escalator, crossed the ticket
hall and then down the Vic Line one and made my connection just as the
Vic Line train arrived. No stairs either. I don't think I'd have managed
it if I'd tried the lower level corridor.
