how to get from GPS station to New London Theatre

Hello

How do i get from Great Portland Station to New London Theatre (Drury Lane). I was told it is near the Covent tube station.The show ends about 10:30 p.m. What time is the last tube train? Thank you

Yes you can take the tube after the theatre.

Great Portland isn't the most convenient station there is . . .

Where exactly is your hotel/flat? Just because GPS is the closest doesn't mean it is the only station you can use. If you are walking distance from GPS, you would also be walking distance from Warren St. From Warren St. you'd just jump on the Northern line to Tottenham Court Rd or Leicester Sq and walk from there to the theatre.

BTW - >>I was told it is near the Covent tube station<< . . . that would be the Covent <u>Garden</u> tube station.

Hello

thanks for your information. I probably be staying in the YHA hostel near GPS station. I think it is also near the Warren tube station. How far is the Warren tube station and the GPS? are they next to each other?

Strongly suggest you get a street map of London as well as a tube map. Otherwise you won;t know how to get anywhere.

And no the stations aren;t next to each other - they are in different directions from your hostel - but Warren St has easier access to the Covent Garden station.

Where is the hostel? 'Near GPS' could mean lots of places . . . I suppose I could search to figure out where there is a hostel in the area -- but since you know where it is, it would be easier if you just gave us the address.

And yes, you need a map - but even just looking at google maps will show you where everything is.

Some useful options:

(Please: "GPS station" is meaningless to pretty well everyone who hasn't read your previous enquiries).

I really wouldn't bother with a tube or a bus.

It's half an hour's walk, max. It'll take you at least as long to faff about getting to and from platforms etc.

But PLEASE learn to speak and write English.There's no Warren or Covent tube station: asking for them using some kind of lazy foreign dialect will confuse whoever you're speaking to and probably get you sent somewhere altogether different.

Asking for GPS will just baffle people. Most won't have the foggiest: others will assume you're asking about SatNav.

Depending when you are going, just so you know Northern Line will not be stopping at Totenham Court Road Station until Late November.
