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)


Trains from Folkestone don't come into Victoria.

Catch the train from Folkestone to Charing Cross. Walk to Trafalgar Square
and take the no 9 bus from Stop S all the way to the Royal Albert Hall.

I believe that Stop S is to the north-east of the square - the opposite
corner from Charing Cross, but look at the map on any of the bus stops
outside Charing Cross Station to find its exact location.

Number 9 (also) leaves from almost right outside Charing Cross station -
just a bit to the left as you walk down the steps onto the Strand.

I also recommend this as it drops you off right outside the Albert Hall
rather than having to walk for 10 minutes from South Ken station. Just
remember to buy a £1.20 ticket from the machine at the stop before you
board at Charing Cross; buy the ticket from the driver when boarding
outside the Albert Hall.
