This is why i get so furious when people on here tell me that buses are a

Depends on the journey. I live a three minute walk from KXSP station.
Despite this I'll generally take the bus for any journey I can within
central London - because anything that is less than four stops on the
tube, or would involve a change, it'll be quicker.

But that said, I commute to Hammersmith every day, and even though
there's a bus that stops outside my office and thirty seconds from my
house, I would be absolutely insane to take it because it takes an
interminable time to do the length of Oxford Street.

If your journey involves Oxford or Regent Streets the bus will pretty
much always be an experience that makes you want to gouge your eyes
out.
