How long is your work commute?

Just about to change jobs so my 600 miles a week is dropping to an hour each way into Derby so I should spend a lot less time in the car from now on
 
Leaving home and arriving at the office, 1hour, 45mins.

Fortunately, work is very flexible and I often work from home, which is a godsend given South West Trains is such a lottery. If there is an incident or break down it has taken 3+ hours to get home (or worse yet, stranded, so either a Hotel or Taxi are the only options).

I sometimes wonder whether companies should have some responsibility in this respect i.e. where possible having people do 4 days but longer hours rather than 5 days of shorter hours would reduce the amount of pollution generated during commuting - though obviously not always possible depending on job role and company structure and so on and some people might use the extra day off doing something involving driving anyhow. But there is a fair bit of potential structure changes that could be done towards that end.
 
Currently, from door to door it's about 50 mins. This is Streatham Hill to Camden. Sometimes quicker.

Soon it'll be about 80 minutes door to door, St. Mary Cary to Camden.
 
20 minute drive and a 15-20 minute walk. It's only a 6 mile journey but it's into Manchester City centre so plenty of traffic to contend with.

I'd love to live 4-5 miles further out as you can get a much bigger property in a more rural location but I just despise spending hours travelling to work. #firstworldproblems
 
The views on my commute are rather nice. Perfect way to start and end the day really.

25min drive if clear (double it if traffic) + 20min walk there and back.
I could cycle but I can't get a locker big enough to store my kit and pushbikes get robbed a lot at the hospital.
 
I drive from Lincoln to Humberside airport (50 mins). Then park up and get flown via helicopter offshore (80-120 miles depending where the SoV is) for another 45 mins. Thankfully there and back is every 2 weeks.
 
People with a sub 15min drive, why not just walk? Lack of footpaths?

60mins if I’m lucky with connections, 80mins most days but I take the long way around London to avoid zone one. If the northern line and overground are down then it’s easily 2+ hours
