There are probably worse changes on the Tube, but personally I always disliked Central Line Bank to Northern Line Bank (and vice versa) MOST. A crowded spiral staircase with people breathing down your neck - a thin passageway and then a queue to get down the stairs! Then, on the Northern platform, the crush of passengers. I was going to Tooting, so I had no real choice. Some people were only travelling Bank-London Bridge, but luckily in good weather a huge amount of people took to shanks's pony.

Travelling from Archway to Leyton the other day, I changed
at Bank. I agree with you. It's dire.

I think that's what my son-in-law, who commutes from Cambridge to Liverpool
St and works at London Bridge, does fairly regularly.

I am a lover of the city of London so walking through it daily never bothered me. IMO it takes five years to get used to the pathways of the City. Someone pointed out to me the beauty of the view of both Adelaide House and St Magnus the Martyr. It is the best bit about the northwards crossing.
