Giles Wilkes @gilesyb.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Tube strike day is a good opportunity to relearn how walkable London is. Waterloo to Tottenham Court Road: 25 minutes. Going underground maybe saves ten minutes, a poor return on three quid 11855 0
Mr Brown @mrbrownetc.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Waterloo Bridge + Covent Garden + St Giles ...people pays thousands to travel here for that walk. Nice freebie. 010 0

Caroline Ramsey @caroline-too.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Yes, I remember walking from Victoria to Euston and being surprised how short it was 010 0
Jeremy Benson @jembenson.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Indeed - and so much to see if you get bored of podcasts...jembenson.substack.comThe best commute in London?If you need to get to Westminster from the north, my advice is to get off the London Underground at Green Park and walk. 010 0
Adrian Burns @lightingmonkey.bsky.social · 22/04/2026I used to walk from Borough to TCR for work, every morning. Great way to start the day. 110 0
ringpull84.bsky.social @ringpull84.bsky.social · 22/04/2026I decided to try the tube yesterday afternoon and waited 0 seconds for a train. Skill issue. 000 0
Dan @captainmcdan.bsky.social · 22/04/2026The walk from Charing X to TCR used to be a regular part of my commute. Lovely in the early morning. Hellish in the evening when full of tourists. 010 0
Brian Moore @briantrumpet.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Just a thought: is there an interactive version of the Tube map that gives a comparison between tube, bike & walking for journeys between stations? Like, click on two stations, and the three times come up? Might be a great way to get people walking/cycling more. 230 0
Tony Yates @t0nyyates.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Esp on a nice day when exercising is good although in your case maybe you do too much. 140 0
lazytrader.bsky.social @lazytrader.bsky.social · 22/04/2026I used to do that walk every day when I worked at the top end of Charing Cross Road. It's glorious in the morning sun and always put me in a good mood to start the day 010 0
Tera Allas CBE @teraallas.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Giles, surely you are massively undervaluing your time (whether leisure or work)? Plus your walking speed is impressive. I’m not denying the other positive-utility aspects of a walk, of course. 110 0
