50-55 mins walk.

BeachHutsAndDeckchairs · 31/08/2024 19:23

Depends on where I'm working that day, how far away it is and the roads I need to travel on to get there. It also depends on how lost I get.

SlebBB · 31/08/2024 19:23

16 mins by car, 9.1 miles

invisiblecat · 31/08/2024 19:24

12 miles by car. 30 minutes in the school holidays, 40 + minutes during termtime.

No public transport alternative that wouldn't involve 2 different buses and a long wait in between, so getting on for 2 hours probably. Never even tried that.

Hoplolly · 31/08/2024 19:29

35 mins by car. By public transport it would be near impossible but would take double that.

EggandStress · 31/08/2024 19:34

2 hours or 2 seconds. Depends if I'm WFH or not.

GetTheGoodLookingGuy · 31/08/2024 19:43

Used to be 6 minutes. Start a new job on Monday so now it's about 20, depending on traffic.

Anotherusername2024 · 31/08/2024 19:47

A rare trip to headquarters about 35 minutes.
Day to day office ten minutes with a stop half way to drop my child off.

LuluBlakey1 · 31/08/2024 19:50

15 minutes in the car, 20 on the metro. DH is 20 in the car- in a different direction.

RaininSummer · 31/08/2024 19:52

25 mins walking, 15 plus however long bus takes to come (sometimes 40 mins), 5 mins door to door by car but no parking at work.

TroysMammy · 31/08/2024 19:52

11 minutes in a car. If it wasn't for speed bumps, 20mph limit and traffic lights against me I could make the 2.5 mile journey in 7.

SnapdragonToadflax · 31/08/2024 19:54

1 hour 20, but I only have to do it once a week at most. I used to do it four days a week pre-Covid - never again.

RainintheDesert · 31/08/2024 19:56

80 minutes. SE to W London by bus & tube. When the District line goes down, it's hell. Waiting to be put somewhere with an easier journey.

geminiflanagan · 31/08/2024 19:59

About 30 minutes in the morning, to go less than 9 miles. Longer at the end of the day, usually about 45 mins.

If I catch the bus, it's 20 mins walk at the start, 15 at the end, plus a 55 minute bus journey.

ilovebagpuss · 31/08/2024 19:59

20 seconds now from lounge to office.
However for 20 odd years it was 45 mins car sometimes longer if traffic bad. I did a stint of 1.15 communte for a while each way and it really ground me down.

GameOfJones · 31/08/2024 20:00

20 minutes in the car.

Kaleidoscope101 · 31/08/2024 20:00

25 mins by car

WheresMySupportCat · 31/08/2024 20:03

48 minutes by car. One way.

For 5 years i commuted daily from a place Very Distant From London to London. I left my home at 6 am and arrived at work at 5 minutes past 9 am.

I cannot even be bothered to calculate that distance. I'll never forget being held up by leaves in the train tracks and getting bollocked by my line manager who commuted from Clapham Junction to Waterloo.

That was the day I put my notice in.

UnimaginableWindBird · 31/08/2024 20:06

1 mile, so 15-20 minutes depending on traffic, plus an extra 5-10 mins during tourist season to allow for walking around them and also giving directions and recommendations.

socks1107 · 31/08/2024 20:08

90 minutes into central London via train and tube.
Absolutely love it though. Never thought I was good enough to work in London and pinch myself every day I am there.

disdisdisisgood · 31/08/2024 20:16

15 minutes walking

BatshitIsTheOnlyExplanation · 31/08/2024 20:22

Quickest journey is 110 mins, slowest to date was 210 mins. But I don't go there and back in the same day.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 31/08/2024 20:25

14 mins

GreatTheCat · 31/08/2024 20:43

Anywhere between 10 - 30 mins depending on the traffic. Its 7.6 miles.

Putting · 31/08/2024 20:51

1 hour 45 minutes if all the connections work.
