I drove down Woodgrange Road today past the two stations a few
hours before reading your post. Next time I'll re-set my clock and
measure the distance.

The north-south distance is 267m, the actual distance is near enough to
that.
Incidentally, the 12-carriage platforms at St Pancras Thameslink etc are
something like 240m long I believe.
Pah, the Eurostar platforms are 400m long, and if you arrive in a high
numbered carriage you have to walk almost that full length just to leave
the platform. It's probably another 100m+ to get to a Tube platform. So you
could easily walk 500m or more to get from your Eurostar seat to a Tube
train -- not much fun if you have luggage. But at least it's all under
cover, and it can be step-free if needed.
