Thanks, hadn't realised it was only one stop from St P to Cally Road, don't know how long it would take me to get to Herne Hill tho (Is the 37 a reasonable service in the mornings?)


I live just off North Cross Road. Usually travel by bus and usually via E&C !! I think I'll have to try every option and see which is the best overall.


My bike is still on a farm in Herefordshire where I once lived - I think the farmers have probably appropriated it,and anyway if you saw me on it you would realise why I am never never never going to cycle in London (danger to self and others :)) )

So I've ended up in Highbury... an hour and a quarter... train to London Bridge, tube to Kings Cross, tube to Arsenal, ten minutes walk.


Mmmmm, I worked in Hackney for two years prior to that and that was equally torturous ....


I am seriously contemplating whether I should rent for a year North of the river.... though it would break my heart to leave ED - Arsenal Angel just doesn't suit me the way Bellenden Belle does.

Work in Canary Wharf....


Usually catch the P4 on Honor Oak Park Road to Lewisham and then get DLR to CW. Door to door takes about an hour....with 20 mins of it usually spent waiting for the P4:X


Still prefer that to getting the Tube from London Bridge as journey is generally less stressful. Can't stand being squashed on tube!

The Canary Wharf commute has been a topic of much conversation in the past... generally takes me about 35-40 mins using the train to London Bridge. I used to drive in for the occasional 6:30 start, and that would take about 25-30 mins. I've no idea how you could do it in 25 mins at any more civilised hour.

White City - have done the commute for 15 years now (although used to live in Lewisham). Fortunately I now get parking tickets at work so I can experience traffic hell instead of public transport hell! And my 2 year old can accompany me to my workplace nursery - may as well initiate her to commuting early in life!!

Live on the edge of the Rye and work in Vauxhall, home to mongey Gay clubbers everywhere.


Try to walk to work most days, up over the hill and down Camberwell Grove and along the main road. A relaxing walk. Unless I'm hungover, when I retreat to the bendy cattle-truck.

Marylebone

8.15 from ED to London Bridge, then Jubilee line to Bond street.

at least an hour which is pretty crappy and at that time the train and tube are fairly horrible. Any suggestions for alternative routes much appreciated. I've only just started new job and I'm restricted to leaving around 8ish due to childcare arrangements. Oh and I don't cycle.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
