If you were to boil down this situation into a British meme template, what would you say?
"KEEP CALM AND ... ???"

Watch the 5-minute video.

individually.

You're in London and the unthinkable happens: you lost track of your group!

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.

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.

Scenario 3: You thought you needed to go to tube station Hatch End for an Easter egg hunt. Unfortunately, there's nothing there. Make your way to your friends who are at London Bridge but be aware: due to construction, the Yellow, Red, Brown and Dark and Light Blue lines don't go today.

IN THE NEXT 5-10 MINUTES, FOR ALL THREE SCENARIOS, 

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

• Which line(s) do you take?
• And in which direction do you need to take these lines?
• Where do you start from? Where do you end up? 
• Are there any transfers, and if so, at which station?  
  

Any time left?
