After all these years on the Helpline, I am finally asking a question of my own! I haven't been in London in years, and need to get from Heathrow to Euston station to catch a train to Scotland. The information I have says to take the Piccadilly Line to Green Park, then the Victoria Line to Euston. Is this still good information? Traveling alone, I will be doing this mid-morning on a weekday, and I have plenty of time to get there by tube. I won't be spending any time in London, just making the one trip. Also, is there a Boots chemist shop near Euston Station?

Yes, Piccadilly Eastbound, change at Green Park to Victoria Line Northbound to Euston. It's a bit more than 50 minutes Tube time. There's a Boots Pharmacy on the Main Concourse inside the train station. Also a big W.H. Smith.

Also, is there a Boots chemist shop near Euston Station? There is literally a Boots on every corner in central London:)

There is literally a Boots on every corner in central London:) Absolutely wrong. Sometimes they're at mid-block.

Nancy, this is cool - In Google Maps, search for 'Euston Station London'. When the map displays drag the little Street View man icon onto the station icon and you should be able to see and pan around inside the station. Your Boots is right there. :) It's also cool to see a large 'Mobility Assistance Center' - in view of recent posts asking about accessibility for those with mobility issues.

Great suggestion - a walk would do me good between an overnight flight and a five hour train trip. I will hope for good weather!
