Hi,

A zone 1 and 2 single will get you to Brixton from Paddington. They're not cheap though - £3.00 each way. If you're travelling off-peak - defined as:

Can be used from 0930 Mondays to Fridays, all day Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, on the day of validity and for any journey that starts before 0430 on the following day.


you'd be better off buying a zone 1 and 2 day travel card for £4.90 - this allows you to go anywhere in zones 1 and 2 that day, providing it's after 09:30.


To get to Brixton from Paddington you need to take the Bakerloo line southbound to Oxford Circus, change there on to the southbound Victoria line, Brixton is the last stop.


Hope that helps,
Mogwai Happy

The tube's very expensive full stop. More expensive than the QE2 apparantly. :)
