We listened to your feedback & decided to give everyone what they wanted - another five essential
London underground tube life hacks. If you missed our last London underground tube life hack video check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYNpW7Rj1Ww
The first
London tube tip that presenter Syrus
Lowe tells you about is that the London underground network is full of shortcuts and secret walks, Syrus Lowe share a few of his favourites with us. At
Leicester Square if trying to change from the
Piccadilly Line to the
Northern Line ignore the signs along the platform & head to the secret tunnel which can be found via the stairs at the end of the Piccadilly Line platform. If you're
Piccadilly Circus wanting to change from the
Bakerloo line to Piccadilly Line. At then of the northbound Bakerloo line there is a secret staircase that will bring you to both sets of
Piccadilly line platforms. At
Bank station if you need to change from the
DLR or
District line to the
Central line don't follow the signs but go via the
Northern line platform.
Dr.
Wayne Osbourne at the website treated.com had produced an alternative tube map showing you how many calories you burn when walking, jogging & cycling between stations. Here it is:

Check that out here: http://www.aryjoecreatives.com/WalkLondon.
We all want tube stations where changing tube lines early involves crossing a platform. Well here they are:

Syrus Lowe then tells you about his two favourite London tube apps.
Station Master for iPhone & Tubenav.
Station master tells you every last detail about a station & Tubenav tells you everything thats going on above a station. Such as restaurants, places of interest & even what people are instagramming.

The final top tip is if you can try & avoid travelling during
London's peak travel times which are Monday - Friday 6.30am - 9.30am
