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: http://www.timeout.com/london/blog/this-alternative-tube-map-shows-how-many-calories-you-burn-walking-between-stations. There is also map showing how long these walks will take. 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: Oxford Circus (Victoria to Bakerloo, NB and SB) Stockwell (Northern to Victoria, NB and SB) Highbury and Islington (NR to Victoria, NB and SB) Baker Street (Bakerloo to Jubilee, NB and SB) Euston (Northern Bank Branch to Victoria, NB and SB) Finsbury Park (Piccadilly to Victoria, NB and SB) Barons Court (District to Piccadilly, EB and WB) Finchley Road (Metropolitan to Jubilee, NB and SB) Kennington (Northern Bank to Northern CX, NB and SB) Mile End (Central to District, EB and WB) Finchley Road (Metropolitan to Jubilee, NB and SB) Earls Court - between branches of the District Line (WB and EB) Rayners Lane - Picc & Met but only for Picc trains terminating there.
