Tip 1: Covent Garden Trick

If you need to go to Covent Garden and you are taking the Piccidilly or Northern line, get off at Leicester Square and walk. The stations are a 4 min walk apart, and the trouble with the Covent Garden station is the only way up is in a lift. These can get stupidly busy, especially on weekends, and you end up waiting for ages underground. So, save yourself time and frustration, get off at Leicester and walk!

P.S It's Covent Garden C-O-V-E-N-T. Not CoNvent - you will not see nuns walking around their backyard.
