They've now pretty much disabled walking routes, the *******s.

Really? I just put in a start point of Paddington and an end point
of my office (Great Portland Street) and it gave me, as the fifth
option, "Walk" (37 min, though I invariably cover it in less than
30).

In that case, set your walking speed under "More options" to Fast
(assuming you hadn't done that already).


That *was* on Normal, but even Fast is too slow. For an unfamiliar
route, I look at the given distance on the PDF and multiply by 5/8.


Not sure what that calculation does for you, apart from converting the
km into miles.


It converts the given distance into a unit which I know how long it'll
take me to walk...
