When I return to Auntie's breast next month I'll be taking the stupidly named "London Overground" to Shepherds Bush then changing onto the Central Line for one stop to White City. It's a quick n easy change. Even though you have to leave one station and go into another, it's still quicker than changing between lines at, eg, Green Park or Clapham Junction. Although I do fancy strolling to work through Chavfield, declaiming some of Cicero's speeches as I go. > Unless you did the trick where you walk out of the > overground, into the central line and emerge one stop later at White > City.
