Default Commuting time map

Dear All

I hope I've come to the right place to ask this question.

I was commenting with a colleague recently how she (living in Sevenoaks)
takes a similar amount of time as me (in Raynes Park) to get into work
(we're based in Monument).

It made me wonder if anyone has re-designed a London travel map in terms of
time frame of reference - i.e. shortest time taken to get to a major London
station (e.g. Waterloo, Victoria, London Bridge, Liverpool Street etc.)
from around the south-east?

Just interested from a commuting viewpoint.


I've seen such a map, but I can't remember exactly where, though it may
have been North Greenwich station. There were two versions: one showing
the situation before the Jubilee was extended, and one after.


I remember there used to be a computer terminal in the London Transport
Museum which showed you the Tube map versus a geographical one and an
isochronal one. The isochronal one didn't actually show the lines
though; it just showed points for the major centres like Harrow.
