I think the general answer is no, and it can differ even in the same 
station.  Whilst I'm not sure of all the visible labelling at Baker 
Street, the cut and cover level platforms seem to be referred to by 
numbers, whereas the deeper ones don't have numbers visible to the 
public, but they still have numbers, as you sometimes see references to 
the numbers.

I'm not sure to what extent the rule is that you use numbers if it is 
easy for passengers to judge the orientation.
