Hi There fellow tube challengers,

I am looking to take on the zone 1 challenge non-competitively but due to my little knowledge of zone 1 routes I was wondering if anyone could reply or message me with a good route or a winning route from one of the years, as I say I have no current intentions to enter the actual zone 1 challenge so I can be confidential if you want no-one else to know,

Thanks in advance

Zone 1 is currently in a sorry state, what with no Piccadilly Line at Gloucester Road, no Bakerloo and Northern at Embankment, no Central (which will, admittedly, soon become no Jubilee) at Bond Street and Covent Garden is eastbound only if you are looking to attempt this during a weekend.

That said, here is quite a simple route (it does assume Central Line trains stop at Bond Street), which is similar to my first route (except that had a Regent's Park finish, instead of being circular). It should give you somewhere around 3 hours.

Vauxhall Victoria Sloane Square Aldgate East (run to) Aldgate King's Cross St Pancras Bank Queensway (run to) Bayswater Earl's Court South Kensington Russell Square (run to) Goodge Street Euston (run to) Euston Square Paddington (H&C) (run to) Paddington (B/C/D) Elephant and Castle London Bridge Southwark

although this is out of date due to the closures mentioned my route was always roughly the same.

southwark london bridge e&c waterloo euston run to euston sq paddington h&c run to paddington bakerloo oxford circus queensway run to bayswater earls court or south kensington depending on train caught kings cross moorgate farringdon run to chancery lane liverpool street aldgate or aldgate east reverse sloane square victoria vauxhall finish

Thanks for the routes guys, I'm going to draw them out on a tube map and decide I am going to attempt at a weekend and because I am doing it uncompetitively I am not bothered by a closed station or two,

Thanks

Just to point out, the 2nd route was half devised by myself too
