Meanwhile, I would almost never catch a London
underground train just one stop[1] and think twice about catching one
for two stops.

[1] Except perhaps KX-Farringdon, and even then I'd probably use
Thameslink.

Baker St - Finchley Road? Chalfont-Chesham?

I've never done either of those (as 1-station hops), although I did once
do West Hampstead to Westminster, when my MML train conked out at West
Hampstead (Main Line).

But yes, I agree re Zone 1.

I had mainly zone 1 in mind, as you correctly deduce. But during a tube
strike I once walked from Elephant and Castle (Thameslink) to Vauxhall
[which is through Zone 2], and afterwards walked all the way back to
Kings Cross [Zone 1].
