In groups of 2

suggest the best Underground routes for the next three scenarios.  

You can use this map.

Scenario 1: You've made so many Abramovich jokes near the Chelsea stadium that Russian tourists who are also Chelsea fans start harassing you and your group quickly leaves without you. Run to the nearest Tube station and get back to the hostel: YHA Earl's Court (EARL'S COURT UNDERGROUND STATION).

Scenario 2: You've eaten so much British licorice that you're both sick and homesick. Right under Big Ben, you decide to book a flight back to Mommy, which leaves from Heathrow Airport terminal 2. Find a metro there.

• Which line(s) do you take?
