The NLL actually does alright for interchange at the moment; it misses
the Northern line, which is a real shame, and the Hackney/Hackney Downs
near-miss is unforgivable, but other than that, it's good. And, of
course, it completely fails to provide effective interchange with the
Lea/Hertford Union waterways at Hackney Wick .


Camden Road (NLL) to Camden Town (Northern Line) is about a 5 to 10
minute walk, depending on how fit you are. Not ideal, but it's
reasonable.


True. TfL really ought to adopt that walkline map.

As for Hackney Downs/Central, there was a direct link between the two at
one point (complete with an intermediate Ticket hut to enable people to
rebook), but then the NLL station was moved and the link taken out.


Interesting. Do you know why it was moved?
