Couple of weeks I'm down in London. Normally for my usual bi monthly trip down that is fine since it is just onto the tube at kings cross and get off at vauxhall on the Victoria line.

Next time I'm down for an away day and team nosh. The meal is in Covent Garden. How do I get back to kings cross from there? Generally I just need a zone one tube ticket when I am booking train/tube tickets. Will zone one cover me for covent Garden too?

Thanks ahead

Zone 1 ticket is fine for CG to Kings X

Piccadilly Line from CG or Leicester Sq or Holborn (they are all pretty close depending on where you are eating around CG) to Kings X

Stand in any of the adjacent meadows and I'm sure the first passing horse and cart heading to Kings Cross will gladly give you a lift. Only advice I have is just don't speak ill of the King.

Sound advice there.
Also, if you need to get from the Garden to Leicester Square, make sure you take the Tube. It's a hell of a walk.

Again sound advice from the Cptn its a long way so be sure to let someone know you're movements and if you've not arrived in the allotted time a search party can be deployed.

Who is Zone one and what will they cover you in ?

Is that your stage name "Thanks ahead" ?

Does your wife/husband/partner know you go to these [b]Bi[/b] monthly trips?

S****ing...

I'd actually suggest taking care of the "bi" part of your trip while in Vauxhall instead tbh.
