That was a day to change at Monument, not Cannon Street (even though Cannon Street is closer, the tunnels to Monument were much less crowded).

Hullo, Ashley here - I was with A2. My first one, and it was rather fun!
I will note to be a little fitter for the next one... and not to bring wooly scarves and hats...
Our Route:
Stockwell - Vauxhall (1) - Wimbledon - Earls Court(2) - Stamford Brook - Hammersmith - Ladbroke Grove(3) - Wood Lane - White City - North Acton(4) - Tottenham Court Road - Waterloo - Elephant & Castle(5) - London Bridge - West Ham - Whitechapel
(1) Our first mistake! We took the first train once missing the Waterloo to Wimbledon. Seems this was too far out...
(2) Our public service hat was established by helping a nice family find their way to Olympia.
(3) We double backed here initially, but noting the time was a bit long we rushed out to see if there was a 7, 70 or a 228 to cut the corner to Acton... no dice. Disappears, and I drop my phone!
(4) Yay, a bounce back on the doors here
(5) "Really, 13mins for the Northern Line?!" walk out, replan... and the tube turns up, forcing us to run back to the platform. Turns out the 13 was a mistake and they meant 3 minutes!
Also, I kept seeing these posters telling me to switch to A2:
And a bonus, I left early to give the cable car a go:

The cable car is lovely. Even though it's of extremely little use tube challenge-wise.

Glad you enjoyed it and will be back again
Yes clothing is tricky especially at this time of the year!
