If you’re only going down one floor you should definitely take the stairs.

Last week, I “took the stairs” at Russell Square tube station in an effort to get a bit fitter. At the top, I discovered that there were 175 steps, which explained why I felt like I was going to drop dead of a heart attack.

also, doing excersise in tube stations… not such a great idea what with the high density of dust particles and stuff.

Well, at the time it seemed preferable to waiting with 300 other people to get into the tiny lift. Although obviously I could barely walk when I got to the top (I managed to get 2/3 of the way up ascending two steps at a time, and even when I thought I was going to collapse, I still didn’t use the handrail - exercise is for me necessarily a mind-over-matter issue).
