Opnion needed - Changing lines
 
Which station is easier to change at Bank or Bond Street? Bank - DLR to
Central and Bond Street - Jubilee to Central?

Thanks.

It sounds like you are heading from Docklands-ish to West London-ish - I
would opt for Bond Street unless I particularly fancied sight-seeing by
DLR. Neither interchange is wonderful but Bond Street is the lesser of
two evils - easier to find your way around and probably a bit quicker.

I suggest Bond Street too. Don't think anyone would suggest Bank in this
case. There is a diagram of the Bank/Monument station complex he
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/clive.b...aps/ltmonu.jpg
The diagram gives an indication about which of the changes are worst
within the complex.

Not related to this thread but looking at that diagram the escalators
and walkways between Northern Line or DLR up to the Monument station
look surprisingly short in proportion to other parts of the diagram IMO.
It might be that it is not easy to get the proportions look right on
such a diagram... (or it might be that my feeling of my Circle-DLR
interchange experience is worse than the change actually is...)

Neither interchange is very easy, but the important thing about Bank
is that you have to know the way and ignore all signs. This is
obviously not easy if you are not familiar with it.

The way to get from the DLR to the Central is to head up the first big
escalator as directed (towards the front of the arriving DLR), but to
ignore the second escalator and turn right as if to the Northern Line,
after which you will find the direct passageway from the Northern to
the Central which, unlike following the original signs, doesn't take
you over the Central and down again.

Going this way, I think it's probably no worse than or slightly easier
than Bond Street.
