The District and Circle at Monument are particularly close. Good route
for those heading East on the District and vice versa.

Cannon Street (NR and LU) is nearer to Bank than Monument is. Much
easier from South East to go along the Central Line than going North
from Charing Cross and changing again. Probably as near as Charing
Cross (NR) to Charing Cross Bakerloo.

Good one, I hadn't thought of the possibilities from Cannon Street.
Basically any wily traveller arriving from points south or southeast
into London Bridge, Cannon Street or Charing Cross and heading onwards
on the Underground would be wise to consider their options before
heading down the first hole with a roundel above it!

Obviously arrivals at Charing Cross should head to Embankment for the
District and Circle (as indicated on maps already), and could consider
a walk up to Leicester Square if they wanted the Piccadilly to points
north.

Great Portland Street to Regent Street, similarly close.

Great Portland Street to Regents Park is I'm sure what you meant!

Given Baker Street is one stop west from both stations and provides a
proper interchange this would only possibly be useful to those wishing
to avoid the crush there. And those wishing to perambulate in Regents
Park, which is a treat however often you go there.

In reply to the above comments, Regents Park (Bakerloo line) and Great
Portland Street (Met/Circle/H&C lines) are exceedingly close, but given
there's a direct interchange between all theselines a mere one station
west at Baker Street there'd be little justification for spending money
combining these stations.

Regent's Park is closing for a year for lift replacement. One thing
that struck me as odd is that although it's practically across the
road from Great Portland Street, TfL are advising passengers to use
Baker Street (700m away) as an alternative during the closure. (Though
they do also mention GPS, almost as an afterthought.)

Apols for all this incompetence related usenet disturbance.

How about Lancaster Gate to Paddington? I used to use it regularly if
coming from the Central Line; saves the change at Oxford Circus.

Courtesy of the era of Victoria railway competition (and too much time
on my hands) I give you the list of the best non-interchange
interchanges in London. Here are some lesser known ways to change
between lines in the capital that aren't marked as interchanges on the
London Connections map or the Tube map as they involve a small(ish)
walk between stations. I've used some of them (and found them very
useful), with some I've just put
one and one together from some knwoledge of the area, some I've just
deduced from the A-Z

Thankfully some of the really close stations do now appear as
interchanges on maps, for example Clapham High Street (South London
Line) to Clapham North (Northern Line). But for those who are able
bodied, not carrying heavy luggage, a bit more adventurous and perhaps
have some idea of the timetable then there's time to be saved and
useful connections to be made, and possibly congested interchanges that
can be avoided. I've probably missed a few too,

National Rail stations are indicated with an NR after the station name.
