Londoners, how long is your daily commute?

[The Geezer]

yet in central London the mere act of making eye contact is enough for people to start searching for their pepper spray.

Never a truer a word said

OP, how lazy are you?

Are you a morning person or a night person?

How well remunerated?

Zone 2 of North London into Central, just over 30 minutes using the Tube. Takes a little longer on the buses and cycling is more or less the same as tube time.

When I lived outside London, it typically took about an hour and 20 minutes. The difference was the single most biggest thing I noticed when I first actually moved into London itself.

Around 50 mins door to door! From Croydon to Paddington! 12ish mile cycle one way.

I live in Canada Water and work in Victoria, takes me 35 mins door to door.

Absolutely mental commutes in here.

20 - 30 minute walk is optimum!

When I first started working in London, I was doing 8am-8pm and the 1.5hr commute was driving me insane. I ended up moving 10 doors away from our office in Parson's Green - it has incredible!

Then I moved to a firm by Monument, so rented a flat in Old Street and then bought in Whitechapel, meaning that the walk was 20-25 mins tops. I didn't reckon on them moving the office though, so after they took up new office space in Vauxhall I quit!

I live in Essex zone 4 and door to door it's just under an hour. All my friends still live where I do and travel is "only" £172 a month, or £1800 for the year and that travel card will be used at the weekends too. I personally wouldn't travel more than an hour into work.

35 mins door to door on my bike

This. I generally work 8.30am-8.30pm in central London. Spending three hours a day on a train/tube completely kills any free time I would otherwise have had during the week. Whilst I'm fairly ambivalent to living in London itself, it's getting to the stage where I'm happy to take the extra expense just for convenience.

 

[SideWinder]

40mins door to door.

SW4 to NW1.

 

[PureAppleJuice]

I live in Zone 1. 15 minute walk door to door.

 

[Hxc]

West Ham to London Bridge. 30mins door to door. And I only pay £360 a month

 

[qqg3]

30 mins on the Tube or 50 mins on the bus. I generally take the Tube.

 

[londonbairn]

Ealing to city, 50 mins to 1 hour usually on bicycle

I hope that's rent and not commuter costs! :X

Just to make you Londoners jealous I live 5 minute walk away to my work (central Cambridge) , and can get to London Liverpool St in 45 mins (+5 Min walk to station)

Shame about the house prices

I've been 1.5hrs to and 2 hrs back lately, Sussex to Battersea, I've had enough so from October I no longer am employed.

I can't express how much I hate the journey, it's torture, anyone who says it's not is lying.
