Best bet really is Heathrow Express into Paddington. Circle or Bakerloo to
Baker St and change for North Greenwich which will give u a seat on the tube
for that long stretch on the Jubilee.

Though if you want to see some of London in the air get a Bakerloo Line
train down to Charing Cross, take an overground train (South Eastern) get to
see the Thames for frequent trains to Greenwich.

Hi all and have patience with a newcomer.

I'm visiting London in a month -- for the first time -- and staying with a
friend who lives in Greenwich. Pondering the tube map from Heathrow, it
appears
to be something like a 2-hour ride from the airport, to Green Park, to the
Jubilee line to South Greenwich. But then, I have no benchmark to judge
how
long a ride it really is. Can anyone provide an estimate?

Being conditioned by New York subway maps, I have to admit the London
schematic
map drives me nuts. I can't get a true sense of direction of how close a
station is to a landmark. Which leads to my next question ... do any
geographic
maps of the tube exist? Where are they?

Well, it should be an eye-opener riding the London tube for the first time
after 3 years of living with New York subways. Anyone with experience
commuting
on both transit systems who can venture opinions about the differences
between
the two cities?

I've probably bothered you enough, but I welcome your opinions.
