It's not 300mI'm trying to imagine how big your house is
but it feels like it in the morning. I added one too many 0 
it's a lot more like 30 
Just under three seconds to walk the width of a house? That's a run, not a walk
So I timed it, I was wrong
32 seconds, not 20

Since moving house last year it's about 45 mins (23 miles) each way. I was planning to move jobs due to being made redundant and find a job closer to home, but instead I start a new job next month about a quarter of a mile away from my current one.
Not hating the drive as much as I thought I would to be honest, it's all fairly quiet back roads, can just chill with the radio or Spotify on.

30-45 minutes if no one turns their car over on the A19. 40 minutes on the way home if I take the scenic route.

Looking at Google Maps it is 1.3 Miles to work for me, around 4 minutes by car! Longer if I have to scrape ice off it in the winter. Haven't had any traffic issues yet.

About 70 mins door to door london office. Wfh 4x a week though so its all good.
Currently working from home. From home to office, 1:45 to 2 hours, door to door.
Walk to station, train to Waterloo, Waterloo and City to Bank, walk to Bishopsgate.
No parking charges and no Taxi's if staying for a beer. Neither the faff of defrosting the car at 6am.
I don't mind the time to commute, happily devour books and catch up on boxsets; its the cost and when trains are delayed/cancelled, then its another matter.

I spent 13 years travelling 32 miles there and back through two cities taking 35-45 minutes depending on traffic
then moved closer to work and after 18 months got made redundant :S
Now work is 3 miles away and takes no more than 10 minutes even with traffic

If I go into the (designated workplace) office it's 27ish miles and can take anywhere between 40 minutes and 3 hours - averages about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes
The days I work from home about 10 metres / less than a minute
Having a national role I could have to be anywhere in the county bit it's more an exception to the rule

Do you drive an oil tanker or something?
Not unlike me, I’m retired now but when I drove a Black Cab it took from the time I raised the garage door, to backing on to the drive, closing the door, then 75 metres on to Jamaica Road Bermondsey and putting the TAXI light on.
