Hi Chaps!
Off to the Albert Hall in the new year (15th Jan) from
Folkestone in Kent. We want to use trains and tube... any tips? Looks like
Waterloo east is the handiest overground station for us to arrive at. Do we
just head underground and navigate as best we can to the Albert Hall?
Knightsbridge tube at a guess...

Where's the best Sushi too?

Are we missing something?

"Why of course the people don't want war. But after all, it is the
leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, Voice or no voice, the people can always be
brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to
do is to tell them that they are being attacked, and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."

Yes. All trains to Waterloo East go to Charing Cross. You can get a
(frequent) 9 bus from there to the Albert Hall (which is quite a long
walk from any tube station).

If you insist on going by Tube then:
If the weather's good, stay on the train to Charing Cross then walk down
the hill to Embankment...
If the weather's bad, get off at London Bridge or Waterloo East and take
a Jubilee train to Westminster...
....and catch a District/Circle line train to South Kensington.

Cheers Aiden! Just the job.... you just made our day out a whole lot
easier. I drive nearly daily around the centre of London but never use
public transport ( white van man ) so your info helps a lot.

Would High Street Ken. not be better? That's only a 10 min walk from the
RAH.

Nah, South Ken is just as close and has the subway to get you halfway
there in the dry if it's raining. However, I'd definitely agree with
Aidan on the number 9 bus from right outside Charing Cross station to
right outside the RAH. It'll be as quick (if not quicker) than Tube+walk.

Go, with plenty of money in your pocket, to any proper Japanese
restaurant. The sort where you have to ask if they have a menu in
English. If you like supermarket sushi you'll love the real thing!

Beware places that are trying to be a novelty to non-Japanese customers.
