Just posting to see if anyone has any stories of helping lost people in London and pointing them in the right direction?
It's quite amazing how lost some people can get on the tube. My example was helping someone at Queen's Park who was trying to get to the Tower of London and going northbound on the Bakerloo!

Re: Done your good deed?
I normally end up helping someone somehow, either by holding a door open or pointing someone in the right direction or by helping them go up/down stairs with things. On average, it happens around twice every time I go to London.

Re: Done your good deed?
It wasn't on a challenge, but on a reconnaissance for one at either Kings Cross or Euston (where I had been hoping to map out all the entrances & exits) as I was getting off my train near rush hour a woman with a large number of small children in tow, thrust a couple of the little sprogs in my direction and asked them to hold my hand, and for me to lead them all to their required platform!
