Hi Ho!

Could I pick your brains a tad. I have to go to St.Johns Lane in
Clerkenwell. I will be arriving at Waterloo East on the train from Kent.

What's the easiest way to get there by public transport?

Thanks for any help proffered.

Cheers..
Les

Simplest is probably 521 to Holborn Circus/Holborn Viadust then 5
minute walk

I, along with hundreds of others, make this precise journey every day.

The answer is simple - the 243 bus!

It starts from the new bus bays constructed near the IMAX roundabout
(Waterloo Gardens?) so, although the bus queue is possibly the longest in
London in the morning, it goes down quickly as a double decker takes quite a
few and is empty when it pulls up.

The 243 goes direct to St. Johns Lane - you get off at the stop just after
the Texaco garage on Clerkenwell Road. About 20 minutes journey time in the
peak.

You would be silly to attempt this - it's two changes to get to Farringdon
by a round-about route. You can get to St. Pauls with one change at
Tottenham Court Road or at Bank, and then a walk, but this is one case where
the bus is definitely the best option.

If your train also stops at London Bridge, you can change there for a
direct Thameslink train to Farringdon.

Bus 243 - runs every day 24 hours and goes directly to St John's Lane.

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/buses/spiders/...oo-station.pdf shows where
to catch it. You should be able to use the staircase down to Waterloo
Road / Sandell St to get to the stop with relative ease.

If you do not have a Travelcard, Bus Saver or Oyster Pre-Pay then you
will need to pay before you board from the roadside machine - £1.50.

Thank you one and all ) I deliver as a white van man around there often,
coming in from Old St. Roundabout, but being deposited at a station on foot
is totally different.

Cheers..
