    A new Map shows which London Underground stations are faster to walk than to tube

    A new Map shows which London Underground stations are faster to walk than to tube

    The new Map shows which London which London Underground stations are faster to walk than to tube

    Most of central London’s tube stops are less than a 10-minute walk from one another in the central zone. A new map shows which London Underground stations are faster to walk than to tube and we have broken it down for you.

    So when you are heading out for a day out in the capital, Londoners usually always ride the tube, hop on a bus or book an Uber.

    But is that actually the most efficient way of travelling around London?

    The tube, as I have found on my new Northern Line commute into work, can often be swelteringly hot and majorly busy.

    Avoid the endless waves of London traffic

    The bus might leave you scrambling at the other end to arrive at your destination on time due to the seemingly endless waves of London traffic.

    And Ubers are likely to make a significant dent in your pocket.

    So how about a walk?

    Transport for London has a handy walking Tube map which reveals how many minutes on average it takes to walk between stations. And some of the results are quite shocking.

    Alongside the map, TFL wrote: ‘Walking can be a quick and easy way to get around, particularly when travelling during the busiest times, which are 05:45-08:15 and 16:00-17:30.

    ‘This map shows how much time it takes to walk between stations on the same line.’

    Transport for London’s walking map

    The diagram actually reveals that most stations in central London are less than 10 minutes away from each other.

    How long does it take to walk between these stations? 

    To walk from Covent Garden station to Leicester Square station takes just four minutes. No need for public transport there.

    In fact, it is actually quicker to walk between those famous stations than it is to catch a tube.

    Similarly, the walk from High Street Kensington to Hyde Park Corner is just a seven-minute stroll. As is the walk from Oxford Circus to Bond Street.

    That is nothing new to Londoners, however. And most of us aren’t lucky enough to live in central London so looking further afield is where it gets interesting.

    From Elephant and Castle to London Bridge

    A walk from Elephant and Castle to London Bridge, for instance, is 22 minutes – which does not sound too bad ad what is better still, you get to do those valuable steps that your phone keeps telling you that you need to.

    If you live in Canada Water, though, and are trying to get to Canary Wharf that’s going to take you 144 minutes over the Thames. A hefty walk, perhaps this one is for the speed walkers.

    What TFL’s walking tube map does not show, however, is the distance between stations not on the same line.

    That’s where the shortest distance between two tube stops in London can be revealed.

    Bayswater tube station in West London is situated just 210 metres from Queensway. That’s a mere three-minute walk – making those stations the closest in London.

    Some of you will be experts in hopping and crossing lines and perhaps you can make your own notes on the map and send it to us.
