I Would like to make a change from Central Line at West Ruislip (or a
station on that route) to the nearest Metropolitan Line Station.

Could anyone advise of the two which are the closest and easiest to
walk? No walking problems or anything just would like the quickest and
easiest for someone who isn't familiar with the area.

Thanks


Ickenham or Ruislip are both almost exactly the same distance from
West Ruislip. See below for a Google Map of the journey.

I would say Ickenham is closer if walking. Or you could catch the U1 from
outside West Ruislip for a couple of stops. The U1 would be closer to
Ruislip because it stops outside the station as opposed to Ickenham where
you have to get off and walk a bit.


Agreed, I would say Ickenham is the shorter work. It certainly feels that
way, I'm surprised Google has them as the same.

Maybe the walk to Ickenham is just more pleasant with more pubs along the
way.
