Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 6 and Version 5 of Earl's Court Station

Zone 1/2 Tube station. This is where the 386,251 different branches of the District Line all join up. Avoid at peak times if possible; not only are the platforms packed with people, all trying to shove past you to get to a different end of the platform, but District Line trains often have to wait quite some time before they can enter the station, because it's a bottleneck due to trains from all branches are trying to get through. The platforms can also get quite unpleasant when there's something on at the Exhibition Centre; they'll be full of people who don't normally spend time in London.

It's OK if you're only after the Piccadilly Line though.

The photo shows the Earl's Court Road entrance. There's another entrance at the other end of the station, on Warwick Road; the Warwick Road one is the one you want for the Exhibition Centre.
