I can't think of one nearer than Barnes, specifically where Vine Road
crosses the Hounslow loop west of Barnes station. That's 9.6 km (6
miles)
from Charing Cross.

But I have a feeling this is a trick question :-)

I don't think it is a trick question, Richard, but it is definitely nearer
than
Barnes. In fact, it's within the Zone 2 Travelcard area.

Is it one of level crossings by the West London Line at Willesden? I
vaguely remember there's one on the West London line itself just after it
leaves the WCML, and another in the Eurostar depot at North Pole. However,
as to whether these are nearer than Barnes and actually inside zone 2 I
don't know. I'm probably imagining their presence anyway.
