2. Great post! You’ve covered some fantastic essentials for navigating the Tube on a weekday morning. I’d suggest adding a few more items to your starter pack for a smoother commute.

   First, consider a portable charger; it’s essential for those longer journeys, especially if your phone is your go-to for navigation and updates. Next, a quality pair of noise-canceling headphones can transform your experience, helping to drown out background noise and make your commute more enjoyable—music or podcasts can really enhance that time!

   Also, don’t forget about bringing a reusable water bottle; staying hydrated is key, and it’s better for the environment than single-use plastics. Lastly, a good book or e-reader can make those inevitable delays a lot more bearable.

   What do you think? Would any of these items make it into your list?
