Why, then, was the escalator link built between Bank and Monument rather
than between Bank and Cannon Street?
The location of a tube station can be taken as the location of its street
entrance, and on that basis Bank is slightly nearer to Cannon Street than it
is to Monument. However, the Northern Line platforms of Bank station lie
under King William Street, and at their southern end are quite close to
Monument station. Using the 'escalator connection' from the Waterloo & City
or Central Line to the District and Circle at Monument involved two or three
escalators, plus a walk the length of the Northern line platform.
