Change at Farringdon: TfL's planner allows as little as four minutes between the trains, so a missed change costs a quarter of an hour. The Thameslink leg is longer in the evening and at weekends, up to an hour.

The coach is cheaper (from £14.90) and quicker, but it runs on a timetable of its own and can sell out.

Three trains and two changes, at Green Park and at Canning Town, on a ride of about an hour and a quarter. With luggage the Elizabeth line is easier but dearer: £15.50.

From Terminal 5 the Piccadilly line starts a stop earlier; Terminal 4 has its own branch, and not every train serves it.

Tap in at the Underground station and tap out at London City, or you may be charged a maximum fare.
