Embankment & Victoria have a garden and its called "Victoria Embankment Garden".

... by the way, Embankment and his brother Charing X changed their name too many times to the point no one remembers how to address them correctly anymore. XD

Have a good night...

The shortest distance between adjacent stations is between Leicester Square station and Covent Garden station, only 0.16 miles (1.25km / 285 yards), so it's quicker to walk rather than taking Piccadilly line to access to each other.

their histories.
