Default Tube direction

Hi everybody,

First of all, sorry for any errors in my English.
I'm from the Netherlands, and I have a question about the tube.

I'm planning to visit London for a week, and right now I am preparing
myselve to travel there.

It's a bit difficult for me to explain what I'd like to ask, but ...
Is there anybody that can explain to me, what's on the metro's (train's)
sign if you walk into a tube station.
In other words, wich direction do I keep when I walk into Bayswater

station,
and I want to go to St. Jame's Park with the yellow line (circle).
Do you look to the end station, or is there another method?


If the station has more than one line, you need to look for the name
of line on a sign with the signature colour of that line. You'll need
a map, which you can pick up at any station, to help you learn the
colours.

As to finding the correct direction, they are indicated using the
compass directions, North, South, East or West and it is usually
obvious which one you need to look for.

Thanks in advance for any answers.
