Advantages: Keeps you dry if you've got nothing to do all day

Disadvantages: Depressing

I had the misfortune of living in south east London in the days when it was uncool and had terrible transport links to the rest of London. After having to endure a bus trip to Aldgate as the East London Line was closed, you had to brave the American tourists going to see the Tower and wait and wait and wait for the Circle Line train to arrive. The Circle Line is just the most irritating tube journey to take in terms of slowness. A journey that should take about 15 minutes takes up to 40 minutes or more if you include the interminable waiting time. I'm sure they leave the older trains on the District line to make you feel a tiny bit happier about having to travel on the Circle line. After all at least the trains are nicer.

The only interesting thing about the Circle line is that some brave souls do a pub crawl around the entire line. Saying that I have never tried it myself as I think it takes about 10 hours and tube travel and alcohol never mix well in my opinion (and experience).
