Green Park layout
 
Hi all,

Roughly how much walking is involved in changing between the three
lines at Green Park (Piccadilly/Jubilee/Victoria)? John Rowland's
website shows a diagram of the station
(http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro.../ltgreenpk.gif) which
predates the Jubilee line. That seems to indicate that the Picc-Vic
interchange is quite a hike, but where does the Jubilee fit into
things?

Thanks,
Sam

Not very well. The interchange to the Jubilee by the signed routes always
seems even longer. Does anyone know any short cuts at Green Park?

Green Park is just long :( It is the station I use to interchange with
the Victoria for Euston, I have heavy bags usually, it's a pain. I
think a travelator is in need there!

Yes, if moving between the Vic and Picc, take the escalators to the surface
and down again. There's only a very short walk between the tops of the
escalators. The Picc escalators are at the western end of the platforms.
This also works for the Jubilee, but you still have a further set of
escalators down from the Vicc.
