Yes, I suppose thats probably the case. Its one of the reasons I stay
within the M25. The tube might not be great but its usualy never more
than an hour in and out. And with all the problems on Southern these
days, who'd want to live south of the city!

Those who use South-Eastern, SWT, Overground or the tube ?

When I commuted by SWT (Surrey, inside the M25) it took me an hour
and a quarter, door to door.

I did it from Cambridge in less than that when I worked in
Westminster.

Does that include the time to get to cambridge station, wait for the train
to turn up, the tube at the other end and then walking to your office?
My hour is door to door, not just the tube trip.

Yes, I could do it in and hour and a quarter to an hour and a half, door to
door. An hour and a quarter is what was claimed.

Given that a trip on the tube in the rush hour from KX to westminster is
probably 20 - 30 mins , you must live very close to cambridge station and
turn up 30 secs before the train arrives.
