Getting Around
Go here for the Northern Line.
There are 2 branches of the train. One via Bank and the other via Charing Cross.
The Bank branch trains are more frequent. But you can take one stop to Kennington and cross to the other platform to get the Charing Cross branch.
When coming back to Oval, most trains will go to Kennington. Take these trains and then swap platforms to go one stop to Oval.
I love this station, as they have daily quotes, nice music and a book swap area.
