Hi Chaps!
Off to the Albert Hall in the new year (15th Jan) from
Folkestone in Kent. We want to use trains and tube... any tips? Looks like
Waterloo east is the handiest overground station for us to arrive at. Do we
just head underground and navigate as best we can to the Albert Hall?
Knightsbridge tube at a guess...

Where's the best Sushi too?

Are we missing something?

Yes. All trains to Waterloo East go to Charing Cross. You can get a
(frequent) 9 bus from there to the Albert Hall (which is quite a long
walk from any tube station).

If you insist on going by Tube then:
If the weather's good, stay on the train to Charing Cross then walk down
the hill to Embankment...
If the weather's bad, get off at London Bridge or Waterloo East and take
a Jubilee train to Westminster...
....and catch a District/Circle line train to South Kensington.

Cheers Aiden! Just the job.... you just made our day out a whole lot
easier. I drive nearly daily around the centre of London but never use
public transport ( white van man ) so your info helps a lot.

Would High Street Ken. not be better? That's only a 10 min walk from the
RAH.

Nah, South Ken is just as close and has the subway to get you halfway
there in the dry if it's raining. However, I'd definitely agree with
Aidan on the number 9 bus from right outside Charing Cross station to
right outside the RAH. It'll be as quick (if not quicker) than Tube+walk.
