They took the Circle (as it was then) and I walked across the park and arrived 3 minutes after they did. Bloody hell, did they go via Aldgate? ...And which park is meant? Is it Hyde and Green sellotaped together? Anyone walking through Green Park on a short cut from Paddington to Victoria is lost. In other news, Google maps says it's a 46 minute walk, and 20 minutes on the Circle; but it's not unknown that the Circle is unreliable, has a 10 minute latency, and some people walk fast. -- Roland Perry |

A bit further than Bayswater to Queensway but still much, much faster than the tube. Even longer distances can be competitive. I met several colleagues on a train into Paddington.

If taking the Tube and in a hurry then Bakerloo & Vic lines. I often think that one of the problems is that we all call the Underground map a map. It's a diagram and if people understood that some (but not all) would find out about the alternatives. |
