Default directions, Covent Garden

From Long Acre, head east to junction of Bow Stre (mini roundabout) turn
right into Bow St. Carry on past Opera House and Tranpsort Museum and do
left into Tavistock St. Cross Catherine Street and continue to Drury Lane.
Turn left and head up Drury Lane to the junction of Great Queen Street. Turn
right towards Kingsway. You can do a right onto Kingsway from GQS.

From a local resident who has to do this daily...

I was driving there last night, and ended up going into High
Holborn and, through the one-way system into Southampton Row.

Any "Knowledge" black-belts out there?

I think there is a right hand turn from Gt Queen Street onto Kingsway.
However, if not, you can cross straight over Kingsway and then circle
Lincolns Inn Fields (it's one-way so it's like a roundabout) and come
back onto Kingsway via the short southern spur that links up with
Kingsway.

And here's some black-belt (or at least grey-belt) knowledge for you -
there's a public lavatory at the east side of Lincoln's Inn Fields
open 8am to 10pm which is a favourite with cabbies to relieve
themselves of their excess tea.
