If I remember correctly the Central Line westbound and the Picadilly Line westbound both have sharp tunnel twist parterns going left--right--left--right prior to entering their respectively Bank and South Kensington stations. I think with the eastbound Central Line it straightens up a good distance before Liverpool Street Station, partially because of the sissior crossing before that station.
I'm welcome for any corrections as it's been a while since i've travelled on that section of either line.

The Central line does in both directions from memory to avoid the vaults of the Bank of England. The Piccadilly line certainly does approaching South Kensington as you say

Manor House I've found to be an interesting station as most of the exits falls under Hackney and I think only 1 falls under Haringey despite being a predominantly Hackney area. So does that mean that by default Hackney Borough does indeed have a underground station.
Also is there any other underground stations that straddles between two different boroughs.

Willesden Junction straddles 3 boroughs. The lower level platforms and most of the high level platforms are in Brent. A tiny bit of the south end of the high level platforms is in Hammersmith & Fulham. There are exits in both Brent and H&F. Cars and buses exit Station Approach into Borough of Ealing.

Of course. *facepalm* how could I forget about that station. That used to be my nearest station when I worked in Harlesden many years ago.

You can get on a Northbound Victoria line train at Euston, get off at King's Cross St Pancras, and get a Northbound Northern line train back to Euston

We of course have cross-platform interchange at Euston.

This would include for example changing from Piccadilly to District at Barons Court then back to the Piccadilly at the next stop at Hammersmith.

Some of the ones I've found are: Central to District/H&C at Mile End Elizabeth to Central at Stratford Circle to Metropolitan at Aldgate Victoria to Northern at Euston as mentioned District to Piccadilly at Barons Court/Hammersmith/Turnham Green as mentioned Jubilee to Metropolitan at Finchley Road/Wembley Park Northern to Northern at Kennington Bakerloo to Victoria at Oxford Circus

There’s also Acton Town for District/Piccadilly Baker Street for Bakerloo/Jubilee Queens Park for Bakerloo/Overground Earls Court for District branches Highbury & Islington for Victoria/GTR Finsbury Park for Piccadilly/Victoria

The Victoria Line has a number of cross-platform interchanges, as it was deliberately designed for the interchanges to be as simple as possible within the constraints of the existing system. The following are cross-platform in both directions:
Victoria to Piccadilly at Finsbury Park Victoria to Northern City Line at Highbury & Islington Victoria to Northern (City branch) at Euston Victoria to Bakerloo at Oxford Circus Victoria to Northern at Stockwell
At Finsbury Park, Highbury & Islington, Euston and Stockwell existing lines were rerouted in one direction to facilitate the construction of cross-platform interchange; at Oxford Circus the new Victoria Line platforms were simply constructed to the side of the existing Bakerloo Line ones.
The Victoria Line has interchange with at least one other rail service at all stations, except Pimlico. This station was not part of the original plans; however the Crown Estate offered the land for a station building free of charge and the additional station was approved in 1968.

One annoying issue is the Victoria Line comes every minute whilst connecting lines do not, for example at Stockwell southbound you could have 3 Victoria trains dropping off tons of people before one Northern train arrives for Morden, same with Finsbury Park northbound.

Times like that I wished the Victoria Line was diverted at Stockwell to merge with the Northern Line to Morden lol

What I meant to say is the highest number of cross-platform changes one could do in a journey, an off the mark example being Stanmore on the Jubilee to Morden on the Northern via: Wembley Park (Jubilee to Met) Finchley Road (Met to Jubilee) Baker Street (Jubilee to Bakerloo) Oxford Circus (Bakerloo to Victoria) Stockwell (Victoria to Northern) In saying that the highest would technically involve the Victoria/Northern at King's Cross/Euston as the number of times can be, to borrow a phrase, up "to infinitely and beyond".
