Hi all...
Only ever having driven in London and facing a trip
to the Albert Hall from Kent this Saturday by public transport,
what's the best tube to emerge from? Plan so far is to leap on a
train here in Folkestone, find out what station I arrive at in
London and dive down the nearest tube and navigate by a handy
leaflet I pick up.


If you come into Victoria, you are probably just as well off to
catch a 52 bus direct to the Albert Hall.

Bus Stop B at Victoria Station according to the spider map.
(Just round the corner in Grosvenor Gardens)


I think you'll find that trains from Folkestone arrive at Charing Cross,
not Victoria. You could get the tube from Charing Cross, but it's
easier to exit by the stairs near the Pltaform 1 barrier and walk down
Villiers Street to Embankment station. Then any westbound District or
Circle Line train to South Kensington. Turn right immediately you come
through the ticket gates at South Ken, and walk along the museums subway
to its end, then continue at street level to the Hall. About 10
minutes' walk.
