You could close Covent Garden if walking 200m (from Leicester Square)
isn't an issue.


I suspect if it wasn't for the huge volume of crowds travelling into that
part of town they probably would have long ago. Those lifts can't be cheap
to maintain.


There are plenty of stations with much less passenger traffic where they
keep the lifts going. Goodge St, for example. It's close enough to both
Warren St and TCR that it's a bit of a luxury.
