THE LONDON TUBE MAP;

Almost weekly, I am asked which London Tube Line I prefer for my stay for a holiday or on business stay in London.  My own home is located near Sloane Square, but I have to say that I prefer being on the PICCADILLY TUBE LINE.  I find the Piccadilly Line the most convenient for visiting London and all the historic sites.  Let me show you why.

A visitor arriving at Heathrow Airport can take the Piccadilly Line to reach many of our flats in central London.  We prefer to have our drivers collect visitors so that the let-in process is better organized, but the Piccadilly Line is a possibility for an appointment by appointment.  Having a transport system from Heathrow to central London is fantastic.  Incredibly convenient.  Those coming from Gatwick have to take the train to Victoria Station–a less convenient arrival.  If you can arrive at Heathrow Airport,  central London is much more convenient. 

Let’s take a tour of important sites along the  Tube Stations on the Piccadilly Line to see which tourist sites are found at each Tube Station.

SOUTH KENSINGTON TUBE STATION:  The Victoria and Albert Museum, The National History Museum, The Brompton Oratory,   The Science Museum, Albert Memorial, The Royal Albert Hall,  Royal College of Music

KNIGHTSBRIGE TUBE STATION:  Beauchamp Place shops, Harrods, Scotch House, Harvey Nichols, Shopping on Sloane Street, bus 137 to Oxford Street, The Serpentine, Rotten Row, wonderful restaurants.

GREEN PARK:  Green Park, Buckingham Palace, the Royal Mews, The Queen’s Gallery, the Ritz, Old Bond Street, Clarence House, St. James’s Palace, St.James’s Park,  Carlton House Terrace, The Mall

PICCADILLY CIRCUS:  Piccadilly Circus, theaters all along Shaftesbury Avenue, Hay Market, The Royal Academy, the Lyric, he Apollo, Gielgud, Queens, Palace Theatre.

Several of our properties are not on the Piccadilly Line, but they are easily reached by no more than one change on the tube lines–very convenient.  

LEICETER SQUARE:  Cinemas, Charing Cross, The National Portrait Gallery, Trafalgar Square, Chinatown, The National Opera, The National Gallery.

COVENT GARDEN:  Many theaters, Covent Garden Plaza, Jubilee Market, The Savoy, Ralph Lauren’s RUGBY SHOP, Paul’s Patisserie, Rules Restaurant, The Royal Opera, Transportation Museum, Drury Lane Theatre Royal, The Fortune, The Lyceum, Duchess

  I hope this listing of sites on the Piccadilly Line is helpful.  Goodness, you could do a tour of London following along the Piccadilly Tube Line.

Thanks
