Undergound

Jay and I were out and about in London today, doing some shopping in Stratford,  then meeting my nephew for dinner at his flat in West Hampstead.
Finding your way around London on 'the tube' is an exercise in problem solving, and it is quite fun


For example, to get from Stratford to West Hampstead you could travel westbound on the Central Line change to the Jubilee Line at Bond Street, travel northbound 5 stops to West Hampstead. Could we have gone a different way?

Navigate your way around these journeys:

1. Jay lives close to Hackney Downs station. She travels to work, near Blackfriars. What route should she take?
2. Jay's friend Haily lives in East Putney. They decide to meet at Green Park tube station and do some sightseeing at Buckingham Palace. How could Haily get to Green Park?
3. How would Jay get to Green Park from home?
4. How would Jay get to Green Park from work?

    I think the Tokyo rail system is probably more complicated to read but it is extremely efficient.
