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.

Damn! I'll try to be more obtuse the next time. :-).

Even people whose favourite method of getting around is
by car would think twice about using it to commute to Charing Cross.

You'd want your head examined.
