Tip: If you are going to Convent Garden via the Tube, get out at the Leicester Square station, which is a short walk away. The Convent Garden station is often crowded because you have to either take a lift or ascend a spiral staircase of 193 steps (equivalent of a 10 story building), with no landings in between, in order to exit to street level. We did the 193 steps because we did not want to wait for the lifts. It would have been easier to walk the short distance from Leicester Square.
