what's the best way to get from Waterloo to Old Street? the tube looks like a pain - is there a bus that's possibly quicker? how long should I allow?

yes take the 243 towards wood green it takes about 45 mins.
Tube is quicker and very easy

sorry - how long do you think it will take on the tube?

Journey planner reckons 15/16 mins on tube versus 28/30 mins on bus. That's leaving now. Will depend on time of day.

northern line, no probs. Beware of all the exits at Old Street though, there are loads!!

the journey planner says to take the Bakerloo to Elephant and Castle then the northern - which suprises me cos that's 7 stops. jubilee to London Bridge then northern would be 4. am I missing something?

I think it may be that London Bridge station is very large and you may have to walk a bit for the change.

Yes - I thought that might be the reason. in actual fact on closer inspection they recommend either route
