Circles where lines intersect or pass thro stations usually means you can change between lines. It is very easy as the stations and platforms are well-signposted for the different lines. You can usually pick up a small map to carry with you and there are maps all around the platforms and trains, so you do not have to keep the route you are taking in your memory.
If you are going to use it for some time, you might find it worthwhile to get an Oyster Card: it is a lot cheaper and easier. Particularly if you are a regular visitor.
