Underground

[vauny]

I wnt to get from Hammersmith to Great Portland Street on the Underground, my nearest station seems to be Ravenscourt Park - Do I need to change anywhere ?

you can go from Hammersmith to Great Portland St on the Hammersmith & City line (the pink one) without changing, but if you want to go from Ravenscourt Park on the District Line you'll have to change at Hammersmith. I think the Hammersmith stations on the District and H&C lines are actually separate ones.

tfl's journey planner says allow 7mn to transfer between stations at hammersmith.

Thanks to both

I would allow at least 10 mins as you need to cross 2 very busy roads to transfer between the 2 Hammersmith Stns.

You may be better getting the District Line to Edgware Road (changing at Earls Court if there are no through trains) and then the H&C or Circle line on to Great Portland Street. No need to change stations at Hammersmith if you do this.

honestly, what sort of system has two stations with the same name but 10 minutes apart.... and there are two Edgware Roads as well

[mushroom25]

there are also 2 stations called Shepherd's Bush.

Hope this link of the two other stations in the vacinity might help make your life a bit easier. I use Great Portland Street when I go to Harley Street, Regents Park is equidistant but might save you some time if you are going to Marylebone Village or the Medical Zone. Hope this helps:

Regent's Park has been closed for repair for a while, I think.

when you buy your ticket request a free pocket size underground map and keep it with you, this should give you more confidence, also most people[ other than tourists] are very helpful if you ask.

Thanks to all of you,the route was changed from Earl's Court to Great Portland Street, and I had no problems.
