My own version, just a lot harder!
I start at a station in the Square Mile.
I then proceed southbound.
I change for a different line that takes me northbound.
I change. Continuing northbound, I later change after several stops and head southbound, on a different line. 3 stops after I make the change, I reach my destination.
Where am I?
Try and do this without a map, and please list your steps! Bear in mind at no point do I use London Overground. This may make it a tad easier.

I'll leave it for a few people to answer before I start aye/naying at the answers.
A hint though.
On part of my route, Marylebone has an association.

As before, but on the Bakerloo, to Marylebone rather than Piccy Circus, then on the Chiltern Rail to Chorleywood.

Still nay.
Here's a little hint. I do not take any National Rail service at any point.

Bank to Waterloo - W&C
Waterloo to Green Park - Jubilee
Green Park to Holborn - Piccadilly
Holborn to Bank - Central.
You start and finish in the same place.

Nay.
Interesting how nobody's picked up on what my Marylebone or Charles Holden clues actually mean, though...

Since this is crazy, and Charlie is clever and slightly eccentric, I think it is opposites or only slightly related. It goes through Euston (as Euston's services almost shut Marylebone) and the Holden thing means it finishes at either a Holden stations, or includes a Leslie Green station (as they were both Underground architects). Completely wrong, aren't I.

Not at all. The route does not go through Euston, nor do any of the lines serve it directly.

Nay. Interesting how nobody's picked up on what my Marylebone or Charles Holden clues actually mean, though... Hmmm.... Marylebone is technically within Westminster, and Westminster station IIRC was designed by Charles Holden. Therefore coming 3 stations South from your change leads back to Baker Street, meaning for it to fit, you'd need a Bakerloo North from somewhere ruling out Green Park - So perhaps Westminster is off the menu...

Nope; and the destination station isn't within zone 1.
Think carefully about the Holden clue, and Marylebone.

W&C: Bank - Waterloo Jubilee: Waterloo - Green Park
If none of the lines serve Euston, then it has to be the Picc from there:
Piccadilly: Green Park - Kings Cross St Pancras Metropolitan (H&C is WB / EB, Circle is CW / ACW): Kings Cross St Pancras - Moorgate
EDIT: I took too long to post. If the destination station isn't in zone 1, I wonder if we're supposed to stay on the Jubilee after Green Park...
