There are two entrances at different bits of the roundabouts system.
Which of the Bakerloo and Northern is the old LER building on the
corner of London Road and Newington Causeway?

If I had to guess I would say Bakerloo but it would be nice to be
sure.

It is the Bakerloo Line ticket hall there.

The Northern Line ticket hall is directly opposite the Met Tabernacle
and adjacent to the shopping centre.

Thanks both Paul and Stephen.

I presume there are underground passages from the Northern Line to the
older exit that are readily accessible? The TfL Journey Planner
suggests so.

Yes - both lines and ticket halls are linked underground. I think the
place was given a refurb a couple of years ago. It's been ages since I
went through either bit of E&C tube station. I tend to end up there
by bus!

Are you saying there are connections between the lines (which I would
expect) and also between the ticket halls (which seems pointless)?

Lines but, of course, you can reach the ticket halls from the
platforms! Clearly you wouldn't walk through the station just for the
sake of it. Even at the Elephant it is marginally more convenient to
walk at street level between London Road and the shopping centre.

I made the comment so that it was clear (ahem!) that you could enter
at the Bakerloo ticket hall and get to the Northern line platforms or
enter at the Northern Line ticket hall and reach the Bakerloo
platforms. It is not one of those places where the parts of the
station are not all physically linked together.

Indeed. My wife found where she was going quite easily tonight.
