West Ruislip to nearest Met Line Station
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 |

Thanks I think it's just about Ickenham. Ruislip is probably a little bit further; equally simple. Ruislip Gardens to Ruislip is the simplest; just up the same main road, but further. |

Thanks Ruislip (0.7 miles) or Ickenham (0.8 miles) - I'm not familiar with the area but both seem easy on the map (try www.walkit.com). hth Eric |

Nice website in principle but in my local area (not Ruislip) I found that it only gave me walking routes along roads, and doesn't know about useful footpaths and alleyways. Martin |

As a slightly extreme route I asked for Chiswick Station to St Pauls Cathedral and it sent me straight up the Cromwell Road, Strand etc. To a large extent the car route. Changing it to less busy it uses the Thames to get to Hammersmith the round the back of Barons Court to get back pn the A4 before meandering up through the back streets of Kensignton to Hyde Park, St James Park the across Westminster Bridge to come back across the pedestrian bride that I can't remember the name of. |

And thinking about it that's wrong, isn't it? It's the allesy and footpaths that make a route direct. |

Thanks Ickenham or Ruislip are both almost exactly the same distance from West Ruislip. See below for a Google Map of the journey. http://preview.tinyurl.com/2ahjbw |

See below for a Google Map of the journey. http://preview.tinyurl.com/2ahjbw 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. |
