Its further than it looks. If you walk quick you might do it in 7 or 8
minutes. At normal walking pace its closer to 10 minutes.

Which, if you have a door to door commute of over an hour, is pretty
insignificant. Though I must admit I'm perhaps biased in that I
normally engineer in a decent walk to my journey, as it's a way to
keep fit that I find easy to stick to once it's in a routine.

I have an 8 minute walk to my nearest tube station. Its fine on a nice warm
summers day but in the weather we've had recently or on a day when its ****ing
down its a pain in the bum. If I had to do a similar walk the other end I'd
really not be a happy bunny. And obviously I can only speak for myself but
after I'd done 9 hours in the office I really wouldn't want a cold long walk
to the train.
