How was your commute? Olympic special!

So, first work day of the olympics today, with all the doom and gloom about commuter chaos what was your experience?

There are 10 of us in the office today, all saying its continuing the trend from last week, even quieter than usual! We are in the regents park area though.

So anyone had commuter chaos today or was it all a massive over reaction?

Nothing at London bridge!

I have to be at work by 5:30am on Wednesday because theyre closing the roads for the cycling event.

My commute was hell - I had to dodge the footballs left in the hallway by my nephew yesterday as I made my way downstairs to the office! I plan on going in tomorrow though so I hope this trend continues.

Was in Westminster on Saturday. It was less busy than usual, funnily enough.

Trifid · 30 Jul 2012 at 10:20

Took me 15 minutes, usually takes 25. I don't live or work in London.

Was fine this morning, Cannon st was **** getting out of because they are limiting the exits,

this evening should be interesting with london bridge closed,

Work in N London, so don't have to battle with the middle, but didn't notice any difference on the trains. Long may it continue.

My employers office is next to Victoria Station, but I work from home so no drama unless I have meeting to attend.

dmcg · 30 Jul 2012 at 11:17

didn't notice much difference to earls court today

Mr^B · 30 Jul 2012 at 11:23

I arrived 10 mins early.

I didn't cycle in today as I came in from my girlfriends up in Watford. The commute to Farringdon was no different from usual but tonight I have to commute from Chancery Lane through Stratford to Manor Park. I'm not having any of that so I'm leaving at lunchtime and will work from home in the afternoon.

I got stuck at King's Cross and walked to Holborn. Bus was just taking too long around there. I was about 20 minutes late for work.

The roads were strangely void of any traffic from Harrow towards Northolt where I work close to. Normally these roads leading to Heathrow are rammed.

rsatd · 30 Jul 2012 at 11:53

I arrived about 5-10min earlier

MickeyFinns · 30 Jul 2012 at 11:56

Commute from Kingston to Vauxhall. No problems at all.

paradisiac · 30 Jul 2012 at 12:01

my 5 minute walk to work took 5mins, but then I don't think Cornwall is that close to the Olympics

Bunka · 30 Jul 2012 at 12:09

I live and work in West London and found that there was less traffic than normal. \o/

dpbadger · 30 Jul 2012 at 12:16

Borised it in as normal, it was fine.

imb4tman · 30 Jul 2012 at 12:17

I was in Islington on Thursday. Left half hour early arrived 40 minutes early. I didn't book anymore jobs in London until the games are finished. Looks like that was an unnecessary precaution
