If you were to believe the CPRE, the SE is currently like
downtown Hong Hong during the rush hour, when the reality
is that approximately 15% of the land within 1 hours
commute of charring cross is built on.

A one hour commute by your favoured mode is only about ten miles at
most. Are you suggesting that there are open fields within that area?

He didn't specify the mode, but it seemed pretty obvious to me that he
meant by train. Even people whose favourite method of getting around is
by car would think twice about using it to commute to Charing Cross.

A one hour journey by car can take one (easily) up to 60 miles (probably not
a lot more, unless one lives adjacent to a motorway interchange).

So what are you talking about?

You can commute a lot further on a jet aircraft (from LCY airport)

So what are you talking about??

[Yes, I know that completely misses the point of JNugent's question, but
his missing the point of the previous question is my real point]
