Even a few places inside London - plenty of places on the southern and
eastern side of zone 6 take an hour to get to Euston from.

Up with which I would not put.

I KNEW someone was going to say that! Nine minutes is record time, i
think.

Here's what people's hero Geoffrey Pullum (and sideick Benjamin Zimmer)
has to say about it:

The Gospel is enlightened in interesting ways by reading Beowulf and The
Hobbit while listening to Radiohead's Hail to the Thief. To kill a dragon
(i.e. Serpent, Smaug, Wolf at the Door) you need 12 (disciples/dwarves)
plus one thief (burglar, Hail to the Thief/King/thief in the night),
making Christ/Bilbo the 13th Thief. -- Remy Wilkins
