How does one drive from Long Acre (at Covent Garden tube),
to make a right hand turn onto Kingsway? Is there a right turn
from Gt Queen Street? Also, at the moment, there's no right
turn from Parker Street into Newton Street.

I was driving there last night, and ended up going into High
Holborn and, through the one-way system into Southampton Row.

Any "Knowledge" black-belts out there?

I think there is a right hand turn from Gt Queen Street onto Kingsway.
However, if not, you can cross straight over Kingsway and then circle
Lincolns Inn Fields (it's one-way so it's like a roundabout) and come
back onto Kingsway via the short southern spur that links up with
Kingsway.

And here's some black-belt (or at least grey-belt) knowledge for you -
there's a public lavatory at the east side of Lincoln's Inn Fields
open 8am to 10pm which is a favourite with cabbies to relieve
themselves of their excess tea.

From Long Acre, head east to junction of Bow Stre (mini roundabout) turn
right into Bow St. Carry on past Opera House and Tranpsort Museum and do
left into Tavistock St. Cross Catherine Street and continue to Drury Lane.
Turn left and head up Drury Lane to the junction of Great Queen Street. Turn
right towards Kingsway. You can do a right onto Kingsway from GQS.

Click "shortest distance" on the left panel and then "get directions". I
think this route will always be quicker than going via Tavistock Street.

This map shows exactly what I said, including using Tavistock Street!

Whoops, forgot to press "shortest distance" but then it gives you a right
turn from Parker St into Newton St, which as the original poster said, is
not possible at the moment.
