My dp is presently going on london underground as i type this he's never been before and i'm sitting here worrying about him, i know he'll be fine but he's been worrying about it for the last few days. How easy is it for you to find your way round the underground if you've never been before??

He'll be fine. The only time I got confused was on a bit where the circle/cental and metroploitan lines all come together. Spent 1/2 hour trying to work out where I was going but got there in the end

it is quite easy and there are loads of handout maps. There is also a wall thingy where you put in where you want to go and it flashes which station you need to go via etc.

There are also special staff near ticket machines to help you if you get stuck and to offer you route advice.

Will he actually ask though? I my experience men would rather travel around for hours pretending they know where they are going when they are actually completely lost than ask someone for directions or help
