Allow 30 minutes on the Cirlce Line to get to Tower Hill.

5 minutes to walk to the DLR station.

15 minutes on the DLR to Canary Wharf.

Take Circle Line to baker st, then jubilee to canary wharf

Shouldn't be more than 30/35 mins (but knowing tube will actually take 16 hours)

Merkin's route is better.

I'd discounted the Jubilee line, given the nightmares i used to suffer on it. But it's probably the best route now.

Not at 18.30. All the *real* crumpet gets on trains departing 16.46 to 16.59.

Don't you mean Citigroup's trading floor... when I was at Sally's 3 years ago I could vouch for the crumpet.... the park on top of the jubilee is full of crumpet during the summer...

There are quite a few car parks, but they can be expensive. Not sure if they do reduced rates at night.

The quickest way is Bakerloo Line to Baker St and then Jubilee Line to Canary Wharf.

Sorry to put this thread back on topic, please continue your crumpet discussions
