I've been Googling/using TFL journey planner but sometimes it's easier to sense check with a local!
On Saturday DD and I are heading to Leicester Square, need to be there for noon. DD is a (very small) wheelchair user. We are out of towners but pretty confident and used to London transport. If we didn't have DD/a wheelchair I would jump on our local train into London which would get us to Marylebone and get the tube from there to LS but none of those tubes are wheelchair friendly!
TFL recommends getting the 453 bus (20mins) to Piccadilly Circus and then walking (10mins) which is doable. I don't love getting the bus with the wheelchair but I've done it before so that's fine - but it'll be hot hot hot on Saturday and so I'm wondering if this is the best plan?
An alternative would be to drive; not into Leicester Square because that's a horrid place to drive but we have free congestion charge/ULEZ and a blue badge for parking so it's easy to drive to say Hyde Park where parking is free to blue badge holders; then walk to Bond Street and get the central line to Tottenham Court Road which is a ten min walk away. Is that crazy?
Any other ideas? Thanks!
