Personal choice and of course a brisk walk from the station to the office
and back in the evening is good for you anyway!

The Tube magazine talked about how walking was a good idea from some
rail termini rather than a short Tube journey; one example was someone
arriving at King's Cross who used to catch the Tube to Russell Square
but now walks; another was someone arriving at Victoria who used to
catch the Tube to Knightsbridge (yes, changing at Green Park!!!!!).

The latter person needed a good whack around the head with a map, IMHO.
It's understandable when people unfamiliar with the city take the Tube
to locations which are within easy walking distance, but for a regular
commuter it's a bit daft.
