Even longer distances can be competitive. I met several colleagues
on a train into Paddington. We were all going to Victoria Coach
Station. They took the Circle (as it was then) and I walked across
the park and arrived 3 minutes after they did.

Bloody hell, did they go via Aldgate?

...And which park is meant? Is it Hyde and Green sellotaped together?

Anyone walking through Green Park on a short cut from Paddington to
Victoria is lost.

In other news, Google maps says it's a 46 minute walk, and 20 minutes
on the Circle; but it's not unknown that the Circle is unreliable,
has a 10 minute latency, and some people walk fast.

We walked from the Science Museum to Lancaster Gate station to get the
Central Line to Liverpool St. As we had a baby and pram it was probably as
good as the alternatives.

Leaving shortly after the museum closed at 7 we could have caught the 19:58
had my daughter not prioritised getting food at Liverpool Street first.
