Some of them aren't that deep. Victoria is closest to the surface,
Piccadilly is just underneath, and Northern is just underneath that.
However, all of them are over to the eastern side of the overground
station and the tube ticket hall.
How far down is the Fleet where they cross it?

My understanding is that it is level with the tube ticket hall.

There'd be no time left to enjoy my day trip to Paris at all.

"enjoy" and "Paris" aren't normally words I'd expect to see in the same
sentence :-P

So you'd never say you enjoyed leaving Paris?

Good heavens, whyever not? I lived there for four years, many years ago
now, and adored it. Still love going back - we are thinking of a short
break there next month, just because.

Well I suppose my main reason was that I went there with someone in a
wheelchair, and Paris seems to be the most wheelchair-unfriendly city
that I have ever taken my mum to, it's rare to find a bus that has an
operational wheelchair ramp, there is no map avaliable for the metro for
those who want to take wheelchairs on it, and the lowered kerbs aren't
very lowered, plus almost every resturaunt had steps to get in.
Food & Drinks were very expensive (I spent about £5 on a cup of tea),
and there didn't seem to be much around to do, I spent every night in my
room watching BBC World.

In Paris?? You couldn't have looked very hard; it's a great city for
nightlife - music, theatre, food, great bars

I was looking more for family things, still - I've visited Madrid, New
York, Paris, Boston & London - London wins by a mile.

I agree about the wheelchair access (of course, when I lived there, this
was not considered an issue either there or here), but there's masses to
do in Paris! Loads and loads of films (very often in "Version
Originale", meaning the original language with subtitles, very often
English), shows, theatres, etc. And quite apart from anything else, an
evening meal in a French restaurant will very often last until bedtime!
And if the weather is fine, you can just walk and walk and walk,
stopping every so often for a cup of coffee or beer....
